The Senate Concurrent Resolution commemorates the 175th anniversary of Louisiana's Old State Capitol, which opened in 1850 as the home of the Louisiana Legislature. The resolution highlights the historical significance of the building, detailing its architectural design by James Dakin, its service as the state capitol until 1862 when it was damaged by fire, and its subsequent restoration and expansion in 1882. The Old State Capitol functioned as the statehouse until 1932 and has since been transformed into a museum that celebrates Louisiana's political and governmental history, receiving accreditation from the American Alliance of Museums.

The resolution acknowledges the vital role the Old State Capitol plays in educating citizens about the state's political history and fostering engaged citizenship. It notes that the museum attracts over 50,000 visitors annually, including more than 10,000 students who participate in educational programs. The resolution concludes by celebrating the enduring legacy of the Old State Capitol and its contributions to the community's cultural, educational, and economic development, and it calls for a copy of the resolution to be sent to Louisiana Secretary of State Nancy Landry.
