Discovery Day: Caroline Dormon Day invites families and museumgoers to Capitol Park Museum on Saturday, November 21, from 9:30 AM to 1:30 PM. The downtown Baton Rouge event pairs discounted admission with a free educational craft in a setting focused on Louisiana history and the natural world.
The program centers on Caroline Dormon, the Louisiana naturalist, botanist, artist and writer whose work helped champion preservation of native forests. The museum event highlights her environmental legacy through a themed Discovery Day experience.
This is a strong pick for a weekend outing if you want something educational, family-friendly and easy to pair with time downtown. Visitors can explore the museum, take part in the hands-on craft activity and spend the morning with a Louisiana story rooted in art, conservation and local heritage.
