Lyndon B. Johnson National Historical Park

Lyndon B Johnson National Historical Park is approximately 1,570 acres and preserves both the childhood and adult homes of former president Lyndon Johnson. Located in the Texas Hill Country, a varied landscape of hills, meadows, forests, rivers, ranches, and small towns, the park was established on December 2, 1969. Originally comprising only Johnson’s birthplace and boyhood home, later donations of land by the Johnson family brought the park to its present size. While she was First Lady of the United States, Lady Bird Johnson was a champion of national parks and urban renewal as a way to improve quality of life everywhere. Today, visitors explore the places that shaped the personality and philosophy of our 36th president, including what is known as “the Texas White House,” where Johnson spent one-quarter of his presidency, and the LBJ Ranch, which is still a working cattle ranch.
