Thoughts on these 11 stops for a home-made Baton Rouge Audio Walking Tour?

I'm working on a community-focused audio tour project in the city. The goal is to capture the "fabric of what was and what can be"

I've narrowed the tour down to 11 locations covering Baton Rouge's deep riverfront, political, and cultural history.

I wanted to see if I've missed anything essential or if you think any of these aren't worth the stop.

Here is the current plan, it's not all in geographic walking order yet:

  • LSU Campus Mounds / Magnolia Mound (both of these mounds stops might be too far to walk to from the rest of the tour)
  • USS Kidd
  • The Casino
  • Old State Capitol
  • Galvez Plaza
  • Mississippi River Park (to talk about the levees)
  • Old Governor's Mansion
  • Spanish Town: Spanish Town Historic District, Spanish Town Road
  • Pentagon Barracks
  • Old Arsenal: Old Arsenal Museum, State Capitol grounds
  • New State Capitol / Complex

Is there anything major I'm overlooking? Thanks in advance for the help!

Thoughts on these 14 stops for a home-made Easton Audio Walking Tour?

I'm working on a community-focused audio tour project in the city. The goal is to capture the "fabric of what was and what can be" ... I'm aiming for a Ken Burns mixed with Anthony Bourdain tone.

I've narrowed the tour down to about a dozen locations covering Easton's deep riverfront, industrial, and cultural history.

I wanted to see if I've missed anything essential or if you think any of these aren't worth the stop.

Here is the current plan, it's not all in geographic walking order yet:

  • Scott Park (waterfront) — S. 3rd St at Delaware River
  • Bachmann Publick House — 186 Northampton St (2nd & Northampton)
  • Centre Square — Northampton & 3rd St
  • First UCC Church — 3rd and Church Streets
  • State Theatre — 453 Northampton Street
  • George Wolf School / Penny Arch — 45 N 2nd St
  • Two Rivers Landing (Crayola) — 30 Centre Square
  • Lehigh Canal / Hugh Moore Park / National Canal Museum — I know it's a bit far and wouldn't make sense on a strict downtown walking tour
  • Josiah White Canal Boat — Canal boat launch, Hugh Moore Park
  • Simon Silk Mill — I'm on the fence if it's worth it to walk under 22 to go to the creek or not, let me know what you think!
  • Karl Stirner Arts Trail — Bushkill Creek corridor (trail entrance)
  • Herman Simon Mansion (Third Street Alliance) — 41 N. 3rd St
  • Lafayette College — Just the entrance on the big hill next to Don Juan
  • The Impacts of 22 and 78
  • fmr. Lehigh Valley RR Easton Station

Is there anything I'm overlooking? Thanks in advance for the help!
