Lyndon B. Johnson National Historical Park

What a great day even in the rain. We visited the Lyndon B. Johnson National Historical Park in Johnson City, Texas. Then we drove 14 miles to take the tour of the LBJ Ranch. Tour was really great. At the Historical park in Johnson City, we were able to view a short film about President Johnson. The Ranch tour was just great. If you go, be sure to sit on the right side of the bus. The back part of the windows slide open so you can take pictures from them. We got off the bus 2 times. We actually got to walk through the reconstructed birthplace of the president. He had it reconstructed and used it as a guest house. We also got out at the show barn. You also get to walk to the family cemetery. The cost of the tour is $6 for adults. If you are in an rv, they have parking and the tour lasts about an hour and a half. There are other things to see such as the Sauer Beckman Living History Farm and some dog-trot houses. I have posted lots of pictures on the link. Be sure to check them out.
