Johnson, 36th president, from his grandparents' frontier settlement through his boyhood, his political rise, the presidential years at the ranch, and his retirement and burial in the Family Cemetery. The ranch unit is described as the larger and more significant of the two. Together the buildings cover more than 100 years of the family's heritage.","narrative":"Two units in the Texas hill country make up this historic park, which traces the life of Lyndon B. Johnson, the 36th president. The Johnson City Unit covers 39.44 acres and centers on the Boyhood Home, a one-story frame house restored to its late 1920s appearance, and the Johnson Settlement, where his grandfather ran an open-range cattle business from 1867 to 1872. The settlement includes a restored dog-trot log cabin, a stone horse barn and a large stone barn built in 1884. Fifteen miles west, the 201.37-acre LBJ Ranch Unit holds the Texas White House, a 28-room stone and frame house expanded between 1952 and 1967 from an earlier stone house. Nearby are the cabana and pool, barns, a communications tower, the one-room Junction School where Johnson studied and later signed an education bill, his grandfather's farmhouse, and the Family Cemetery where he is buried. Together they document more than a century of his family's story.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":null,"criteria":[],"status_note":"Condition is marked excellent and altered.
