The Louisiana State Museum
It started as an idea of the McKinley High School Class of 1969. In planning for their fortieth reunion, they decided that rather than just reconnecting with their former classmates, Pride of Place they would reconnect with the history of their community during the 1950s and 60s. From that idea came the new exhibition Pride of Place: Stories of Old South Baton Rouge, a yearlong, comprehensive celebration of a neighborhood and an era.
