About Magnolia Mound: Museum + Historic Site

Magnolia Mound is a 16-acre historic site in Baton Rouge with a Creole heritage setting and aged live oaks. The property offers two event venues, the historic Hart House and LaGrange, a reproduction of a 19th-century French Creole barn beneath a sweeping live oak. The site identifies weddings among the events it hosts, and LaGrange is specifically offered for wedding receptions.
