The Lyndon B. Johnson National Historical Park actually has 2 locations. The first is in Johnson City, TX that features the boyhood home of LBJ. Tours are available every 30 minutes, led by a Park Ranger. On this tour, you'll what it was like growing up here for LBJ and how it led him to a political career.
There is also a walking trail around the Johnson family settlement just off the boyhood home. Stop into the visitors center to pick up a map of the trail.
About 15 miles west, in Stonewall, TX, is the LBJ ranch. Here, you can take a tour of the "Texas White House" and learn about LBJ's life here during his presidency, as well as the years afterwards. You'll learn about his family and see some unique items such as his "Air Force One" plane.
At the visitor's center as you enter the ranch, pick up a CD for the driving tour portion of the ranch to learn more about the LBJ ranch and life on the ranch.
