Welcome to Johnson City, a charming town in the heart of the Texas Hill Country and home to the Lyndon B. Johnson National Historical Park. This park is dedicated to the life and legacy of the 36th President of the United States, Lyndon B. Johnson, and offers visitors a unique glimpse into the history and culture of Texas.

One of the highlights of the park is the LBJ Ranch, where President Johnson spent much of his time during his presidency.

The ranch is also home to a working cattle operation and a herd of Texas longhorns.

For those interested in the history of the Civil Rights movement, the park also features the Sauer-Beckmann Living History Farm, where interpreters demonstrate the traditional ways of life for German immigrant families living in the area during the turn of the 20th century.

Finally, visitors can take a self-guided tour of the Johnson City Historic District, which features several buildings that were important to President Johnson's life and career, including his boyhood home, his first school, and the local newspaper office where he worked as a teenager.

Overall, the Lyndon B. Johnson National Historical Park is a must-visit destination for anyone interested in the history and culture of Texas. With its rich history, beautiful scenery, and unique attractions, it offers something for everyone.
