And finally, the pair of brass napoleons in front of the Military Science bldg. at LSU, just across the street from the south end zone of Tiger Stadium. The were presented to the University by none other than Wm. T. Sherman, pre-war superintendent of the school, after the CW. Supposedly they were used against Fort Sumter.Last stop on my trip last weekend. It is in downtown Baton Rouge. The Louisiana Marathon and a music festival were both happening that morning/midday in Baton Rouge,unknown to me beforehand,so some streets and intersections were closed. However,driving in downtown Baton Rouge on any day is nothing like driving in downtown Houston. I think I ended up parking about 3 blocks further than I would've had to if nothing was going on that day. The museum is very close to the state capitol.
