"All the World is Welcome Here"
---Lyndon Baines Johnson
Lyndon B. Johnson National Historical Park tells the story of our 36th President beginning with his ancestors until his final resting place on his beloved LBJ Ranch. This entire "circle of life" gives the visitor a unique perspective into one of America's most noteworthy citizens by providing the most complete picture of any American president.
We found this park very interesting. His ranch is located about 20 miles from Johnson City, TX. Many people referred to this as the "Texas White House" because President Johnson spent so much time here and conducted much of his presidential affairs from here. If you were a diplomat or dignitary and you had an audience with Presdent Johnson you came to his home in Texas. His "Presidential Office" in Texas remains today as it was when he was president. This park presents an interesting look into the life of a president.
If you visit this park make sure you go to the Ranch. There is a visitors center in Johnson City and this is the visitors center near the ranch where you buy tickets to tour the Ranch. This visitors center is all about the Texas Hill Country. It's beauty, plants and inhabitants.
There is a lot to see in the Fredericksburg area and we had a really good time.
