Baton Rouge Shows Us the Definition of Southern Hospitality!
We were amazed at the efforts of the community of Baton Rouge as they welcomed Lincoln's Journey of Remembrance. We docked Wednesday afternoon at the USS Kidd & Veterans Memorial, a World War II era battleship. On Thursday morning we had an amazing story in The Advocate, by our friends Rick Harris and Ed Cullen, who rode our flatboat from Natchez, MS, to St. Francisville, LA earlier in the week.
Baton Rouge Mayor Kip Holden presented us with a proclaimation making the day, Lincoln's Journey of Remembrance Day in Baton Rouge that afternoon. Later in the evening we enjoyed a reception hosted by the Foundation for Historical Louisiana at The Old Governor's Mansion.
