lyndon b. johnson state park & historic site印象

Visiting over President's Day Weekend afforded us a free visit of the Texas White House. We enjoyed the Sauer-Beckmann Living History Farm. We especially enjoyed the animals and the kitchen interpreter / Park Ranger who told us the many ways the milk was used. Our kids enjoyed driving around and stopping at the different historical sites. We slowed to observe the animals on our drive. To top off our visit, we participated in a tour of the Texas White House. The guide was informative and answered our young children's questions. Great experience!

Interesting three hours. See the house he was born in , the Texas White House where he died, and where he and his wife Lady Bird are buried. Nothing pretentious. Sixties technology. Telephones with long cords, three tvs because there were only three channels and no remotes. When extra space was needed a new extension was added to the building. LBJ was a workaholic and spent about 18 hour a day on the job. He spent about one fifth of his time as president in his Texas house. The property is also a working ranch and one can take a motor tour around it. it brought back many memories of what was happening in the world at that time.

Our visit to LBJ ranch was one of the highlights of our texas road trip.In the hill country it's glimpse of a man who was bought up in a three room cottage to become the leader of the free world.

LBJ's Texas White House is a little more than an hour drive from Austin. If you want to get to know LBJ, go to the ranch. Easy to see that it was a family home until 2007 when Lady Bird died. Ranger-led tour full of stories (such as how LBJ loved telephones and mirrors in the bath room that gave him a 360-degree view of himself!). Take the time to drive around the ranch to see the place where LBJ restored his energy.

LBJ's ranch home and burial site. See the home he spent hundreds of days in making decisions. Tour the house. See the bed he died in. original decor from the '60's. So interesting.

Beautiful grounds, on the banks of the Pedernales River. Lots of room to roam for a family. Start at the visitor center and proceed at your own pace, in your own vehicle. Guided tour of the LBJ residence. If you at all have an interest in the history of the 1960s and the role (and roots) of Lyndon Johnson -- or just want a quiet retreat from the hustle and bustle of Fredericksburg, we highly recommend a visit. If you want to learn before (or after) your visit, read Robert Caro's books on LBJ and the times.

This is a great slice of Texas history. Starting with the visitor's center you get some nice displays of the history of the area, what life was like during the early years and LBJ's boyhood life in the area. A short distance away is a working farm depicting life from the late 1800's to the early 1900's. There are usually people on site enacting life during the early years of Texas history. They are friendly and explain anything that interests you.The visitor's center will give you a driving pass and a map to the rest of the park. You can visit an old schoolhouse, the cabin where LBJ was born, a great old dogtrot cabin while driving through the beautiful park.At the end is the house where LBJ and Ladybird lived which was called the Texas Whitehouse because they spent so much time there while LBJ was president. This is a very good tour and cost a whopping 3 dollars. You get to see how they setup the house to conduct presidential business along with how they managed their personal life during those times. A required stop for anyone interested in Texas history.

Everything Is so well-explained, both verbally and in the placards around the two distinct sites. Taking the ranger led tour at the ranch would have to be a given as without taking the tour, you'll never see the house or hear all the intriguing details of life with the president. The settlement site in Johnson City is also very well done, although for me, it's quite secondary.

Drove from Fredericksburg to Stonewall to visit the Johnson ranch and Western Whitehouse. You drive around the ranch and then spend 3 dollars per person to go on a ranger guided tour of the Johnson home with all its multiline telephones. He had a phone at the dinner table and even in both the his and hers bathrooms.
