LBJ Ranch Visitor Center

Description:

• The LBJ Ranch House, known as the Texas White House, was the home of President Johnson and a center of political activity for more than 20 years. Today, Mrs. Lyndon B. Johnson resides here. The Reconstructed Birthplace was built by President Johnson in 1964 on the site where he was born in 1908. The Johnsons furnished the home with family memorabilia and used it as a guest cottage. Along with his ancestors, President Johnson was buried at the Johnson Family Cemetery. Lyndon Johnson first attended classes in the one-room Junction School House at the age of four. And as president, he signed into law the Elementary and Secondary Education Act at the same one-room school. Registered Hereford cattle graze at the ranch and are displayed at the Show Barn.
