Louisiana State School for the Deaf, Dumb & Blind Baton Rouge, LA Civil War Hos

  

Louisiana State School for the Deaf, Dumb & Blind. Used as Civil War U. The building was near the Mississippi River and was a target for shells fired from Federal gunboats during the Civil War. For a short time during the period when Federal forces controlled Baton Rouge and its vicinity, this old original building was utilized as a hospital by Union forces and history records that inmates of the school at that time were used as attendants for wounded and sick soldiers of the northern army.
