Reviewed By michaelkV8097BQ
My wife and I went to Austin specifically to visit the LBJ Museum and then went 50 miles west on another day to visit his boyhood home and after visiting the boyhood home we went another 15 miles west to Stonewall Texas to visit the LBJ Ranch in Texas White House. That is a national park which is embedded in a Texas State Park. After turning off the road into the Texas state park and going to the visitor center you then have about a 20 to 30 minute drive on the internal roads of the farm before you get to the Texas White House. The area is still a working cattle ranch. While the interior of the Texas White House is closed for repairs, and that was disappointing, our tour of the external area was nonetheless very interesting. Ranger Jack, was very knowledgeable and informative, taking us around the house and explaining significant areas and how LBJ governed from there. There was also a visitor center which has some interesting exhibits and a 20 minute film about LBJ and Lady Bird's love of the Texas Hill country. Very worthwhile. From this area we drove another 15 miles west to the tourist town of Fredericksburg which is also reviewed separately.

Man was this place great. So many cool rooms / activities for kids of all ages, big kids too, like me!! Huge tortoises outside, a cool dinosaur dig and very interesting chain reaction ball thingy among others. The old mill silos inside each have been turned into their own cool rooms, one is a big led display that reacts to the waves sent out by your cell phone, another one is has a giant multicolored crystalline structure for a ceiling, very cool! There is also a toddler area where you can watch movies and build your own racecar and race them. This place is a lil boy's dream, very awesome find in the Johnson City!

A very unique concept. This is an antique store that specializes in Mid-century furniture and objects. The antiques are sold at a great price and I loved the mixture of antiques and art pieces they have for sale.
