About

Lyndon B. Johnson State Park & Historic Site tells the story of America's 36th president and the Texas Hill Country that shaped him. The park's centerpiece is the Sauer-Beckmann Living History Farm, a World War I-era Texas-German farm where costumed rangers raise crops, care for animals, and demonstrate period life. The Visitors Center displays memorabilia from LBJ's presidency and offers films about his life and the region. Walking trails wind through the park, passing the official Texas Longhorn herd and American bison. Historic structures include the 1870s Behrens Cabin and the 1860s Danz family log cabin. The park serves as the gateway to the adjacent Lyndon B. Johnson National Historical Park and LBJ Ranch, where visitors can tour the Texas White House, LBJ's birthplace, and the Johnson family cemetery on a self-guided driving tour. Recreational facilities include year-round fishing in the Pedernales River, tennis courts, a reservable baseball field, and an Olympic-sized swimming pool open during summer. This is primarily a day-use historic site with minimal camping facilities, offering only a small reservable camping area for youth groups.
