The Lyndon B. Johnson National Historical Park in Johnson City, Texas was established in 1969 to preserve the birthplace, home, and ranch of Lyndon B. Johnson, the 36th President of the US. The park consists of three main sites: the Johnson Ranch, the Johnson Birthplace, and the Johnson Schoolhouse. The Ranch is the largest site and includes the president's boyhood home, his grandparents' home, and the beloved Texas Hill Country landscape that he so loved. The Birthplace site housed Lyndon B. Johnson's birthplace, includes his mother's home, a one-room schoolhouse, and a Visitor Center with exhibits about his life. The Schoolhouse is the site of Lyndon B. Johnson's first school and includes a replica of his one-room schoolhouse as well as a Visitor Center with exhibits about his early life and education. Each of these sites tells a different story about Lyndon B. Johnson and together they provide visitors with a unique insight into the man who would become one of America's most interesting presidents.
