Lyndon B Johnson State Park

To get a pass to drive the Lyndon B Johnson National Historic Park's LBJ Ranch, you have to stop at the Lyndon B Johnson State Park and Historic Site visitor center and museum. There are a few exhibits from President Johnson there. The Sauer-Beckmann Living History Farm is a short walk from the visitor center. Park staff are dressed in period outfits and take care of the animals and gardens. Around the farm buildings are cows and sheep.
