Explore Louisiana, in an RVshare RV Rental
Louisiana became part of the United States in 1803 when government officials purchased 828,000 square miles of land west of the Mississippi River for $15 million. Initially, the state capitol was in New Orleans, but it moved to Baton Rouge in 1849 as state officials feared that people living in New Orleans, the state's largest city, would become too powerful.
You will want to visit the Cane River Creole National Historical Park in Natchitoches. As you learn about the Oakland and Magnolia Plantations, remember that the term Creole refers to anyone who can trace their family's history in the region back to the time before the Louisiana Purchase. You will want to dine at top Creole restaurants, like New Orlean's Commander's Palace, Lafayette's Johnson's Boucaniere, and Baton Rouge's Louisiana Lagniappe.
While many of the 4.7 million people living in Louisiana can trace their roots back to the French colonists who first settled near New Orleans, others trace their family's roots back to the arrival of people exiled from Canada during the Seven Years' War from 1756 to 1763. These settlers brought their cooking style with them, and you will want to sample the best of it by dining at Galliano's Rose's Café, Thibodaux's Fremin's Restaurant, and Shreveport's Marilynn's Place.
