Historic Lincoln Theater Set for Renovations

The  Lincoln Theater on Myrtle Walk may soon be listed on the National Register of Historic Sites.  The Old South Baton Rouge property was once a cultural hub for African Americans in the 1950's thru the 1970's. 

Now, the East Baton Rouge Redevelopment District along with the Louisiana Black History Hall of Fame plan to re-open the theater, complete with a Black History Museum.  They are hoping this will be the first step in revitalizing  the entire Old South Baton Rouge area.
