Lyndon B. Johnson National Historical Park is a United States National Historical Park in central Texas about 50 miles (80 km) west of Austin in the Texas Hill Country.[4] The park protects the birthplace, home, ranch, and grave of Lyndon B. Johnson, 36th president of the United States.[5] During Johnson's administration, the LBJ Ranch was known as the Texas White House because the President spent approximately 20% of his time in office there.[6]
