This antique store is a regular stop for us. It's clean, smells great, has a great selection of cool stuff and their prices beat the heck out of the other stores in the surrounding areas! Don't be fooled by the small storefront, it's very large and deep and features over 30 vendors!
4. Lyndon B. Johnson Boyhood Home

This is the home where President Johnson spent his childhood days. The house where he grew up in has been restored to how it looked in the 1920s. The guided tour operated by National Parks was excellent. The ranger was very knowledgeable and his style of narration impressed me. His narration was mainly centered around the family and formative years of President Johnson but he also ensured that we got a good idea of life in Central Texas in the early 20th century. The restoration of furniture, radio, outhouse shed and the overall decor of the house is commendable! President Johnson gave the first political speech of his career on the steps of this house. Directly across the boyhood home is the Visitor Center. The Visitor Center exhibits are somewhat similar to some of the displays at LBJ Presidential Library in Austin. Along the wall is a timeline on which different events and milestones in the life of LBJ and Lady Bird Johnson are chronicled. They have two movies as well which are played on demand, each lasting ~25 minutes, one on Lyndon Johnson and the other on Lady Bird Johnson. There is no admission charge and plenty of parking spots at the Visitor Center.
