The Red Stick Historical Society with a Twist

The Red Stick Historical Society with a Twist invites you to don your finest historical garb — or perhaps your most amusingly anachronistic outfit! Join us as we explore Baton Rouge's storied past, but with an added twist: each meeting brings forth theatrical reenactments of key historical events, albeit, slightly embellished for comedic flair. Did that Revolutionary War protest take place over tea or a rather passionate debate about the merits of jambalaya versus gumbo? We're not sure, and that’s half the fun! Our society covers everything from the establishment of the State Capitol to the famed Baton Rouge blues music scene. We mingle history with humor, encouraging local historians and lovers of whimsy to take a break from seriousness while producing insightful, if a little skewed, interpretations of the past. So if you’ve ever wanted to dress up and fiercely debate whether a particular event was worthy of a dramatic monologue, you’re in for a treat!
