Exhibits

A permanent exhibit gallery showcases Lyndon Johnson's life and accomplishments.  It includes a world events timeline and a display depicting the highlights of LBJ's Great Society programs. Some of the items on exhibit are campaign memorabilia, gifts that President Johnson gave, and two of the LBJ Ranch branding irons. There are also two "Friendship Stones," concrete blocks signed by visitors to the Texas White House.

The exhibits include a tribute to Mrs. "Lady Bird" Johnson. Her commitment to the environment continues the work of our "Conservation President." Visitors can view Mrs. Johnson's crimson suit and the White House china designed for the Johnson administration.

Two video presentations are offered, both 30 minutes in length. One is about the Johnson Administration, the other, about Mrs. Johnson's life and achievements.
