President Lyndon B. Johnson’s boyhood home in Johnson City. Due to covid (Still!) the house is not open for public tours.One side of the house.The back side of the house.I could see one bedroom through a window.Also the kitchen.LBJ was a member of this First Christian Church in Johnson City.The Junction School. LBJ first attended this school as four-year-old! This was his first formal education. The school held seven grades in one room!This is a replica of LBJ’s birthplace, on the site of the actual house.Barn behind the birth house.Graves of First Lady Claudia Taylor Johnson and President Lyndon Baines Johnson.This is a view of the Johnson Ranch.Hereford cattle on the Johnson Ranch.To this day, the Johnson Ranch does not buy any cattle. These are purebred “Johnson Ranch” Hereford cattle. LBJ’s private runway on the ranch.Air Force “One Half”. When LBJ was president, Air Force One was too big to land on his ranch, so it would land in Austin or San Antonio, then he would take this smaller jet to his ranch. This is a Lockheed JetStar VC-140.LBJ was well known for giving toys and gifts to children of his staff and guests. Most of the gifts he gave had the presidential seal and LBJ’s signature on them. I still have that Geronimo figure in its original box (without the LBJ seal and signature)!LBJ gave his daughter Luci this 1965 Corvette on June 18, 1965, two weeks before her 18th birthday.This is the home on the LBJ Ranch. While LBJ was president, this was called the “Texas White House”. It is currently closed as structural repairs are being done.These are purebred Longhorn cattle. These are located in the LBJ State Par, which is not part of the LBJ Ranch.
