Huey's Headstone - View this location on map  'On the way out of town, stop in for a peaceful self-guided tour of the Louisiana State Capitol (225-342-7317), a monument to the vision and power of the Kingfish. In September 1935, Long, a United States senator at the time, was killed by a single bullet from an assassin's gun in a marble-lined back hallway. There is a small exhibit on the shooting and perhaps a lasting structural reminder a mark on a marble column said to have been left by a bullet from a bodyguard's gun. Long's grave is on the Capitol grounds, topped with his likeness in bronze bigger than life and gazing into the future.''
