Check Out These Incredible Videos Of Downtown Lafayette, USL Campus And Baton Rouge From The 60s [Video]

These days, people are able to shoot video on their phones and upload them to YouTube in a matter of minutes. Back in the 60s, video cameras were a rare thing in people's homes. There's not a whole of video around showing us what Lafayette looked like then. You can find videos of Baton Rouge a little easier, and I think it's pretty great to look back at how these cities looked. I found some fantastic videos that Adrian Baudoin has uploaded to his page and wanted to share them with you.

The first is Downtown Lafayette on Jefferson Street. You'll see all of the same videos you see now, and an awesome shot of some folks crossing the street.

The second video shows what the USL campus looked like in the 60s. The main thing I noticed is how open the sky looks. You don't see tall buildings everywhere you look like you do now.

The third video shows Downtown Baton Rouge as if you were driving around in 60s.
