the kingfish lives - View this location on map 'a short walk toward the river brings you to the old state capitol building, below, home to the state's museum of political history ( 800-488-2968). this striking, castle-like 1850 structure was the seat of state government until 1932. the museum's most popular exhibit focuses on huey p. long, the legendary depression-era governor known as the kingfish. several rooms explore long's storied career, his populist politics and his assassination in 1935. in one room, his words come alive, electronically speaking, as a disney-style animatronic statue of long lectures museumgoers on a variety of subjects, including his public works projects, presidential ambitions and, of course, his abiding love for l.s.u. football.''
