The National Park in Austin’s Backyard celebrates the life and legacy of Lyndon B. Johnson, 36th President of the United States. From his ancestors’ first cabin on the Texas frontier to the famed “Texas White House,” still Lady Bird Johnson’s home, it’s all still here in the beautiful Texas Hill Country, less than one hour from Austin.
