Kids loved going here. It's a very cool place and very kid friendly. They loved making rope and watching blacksmiths and everything.

The park protects the birthplace, home, ranch, and grave of Lyndon B. Johnson, 36th president of…read morethe United States. 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. Johnson donated the ranch in his will to the public to form the park, with the provision that it "remain a working ranch." You can see his birthplace home, school house, the cemetary where he and his family are buried, the show stables, his prized Hereford cows, and even his downsized "Airforce one-Half" Across the street at the state park you can see the home and building of the Johnson's neighbors, the Sauer--Beckmanns in the living history farm area. There is also a bison herd and longhorns on the property.

What a unique Gem that we stumbled upon! While vacationing in Stonewall, we drove past the park…read moreand became curious. We decided to drive through and see what it was all about. Wow! Is all I can say! Historic, farm animals, a school, cemetery, etc...This place is massive! We were there probably 2 hours and I'm sure we didn't see everything. We had our dog with us so he was able to experience this with us as well! It was so fun seeing the exhibits, walking amongst the sheep, and walking through the historic home and school. You can walk through some areas or you can choose to drive. We opted to walk the farm area and drive through the rest with stops along the way. Park ranger and visitor office staff were very friendly! Oh and it was free but I think you can make donations. Highly recommend!

Mind Body Activation Oct 26-28, 2024…read more Qigong Breathing Healing Lymphatic Draining training Myospiral Release training I've trained with this company before that typically hosts it's workshops in hotels across the country. They decided to revamp workshops taking them out in nature to pavilions. Interesting choice! Unfortunately for us, Central Texas was still in a heat wave at the end of October. The first day was unbearable for us by the afternoon. Although the huge big fans on the ceiling helped, we could have really used those huge mister fans as well. Our Pavillion experience: I am going to start the grumpy old man... event manager I guess would be a good title for him, or land manager, or maintenance man. Typical German grumpy old man. And when I say old, he's probably closer to my age. None the less, grumpy. I can bring up the German part too, as my father grew up in Fredericksburg, a hundred years ago. My dad and his dad probably knew each other, you know small towns. The Germans are known as "Square Heads". Stubborn, and don't like outsiders. So back to the story... by second day, I had to go find him. We were out of hand soap, paper towels, and toilet paper. WTH?! They were out of soap?... really? You have a 3-day event booked and you don't make sure that all this is prepped up in advance?! By the third day, there was hand soap plus all the paper products just left on the counter for us to fend for ourselves. Ridiculous. Bathrooms were not maintained and cleaned. This dude was worthless. He just wanted to ride around on his cart and cut tree limbs... didn't want anything to do with us wo-wo hippy looking folks. Epic fail. 0 stars for the grumpy old man. The pavilion itself is beautiful with beautiful views. The traffic noise is distracting. The screens that go up and down are absolutely killer! They help keep the pavilion cool when down, or lift up for that breeze to flow through better. There seems to have been a kitchen as well. I would recommend the venue for events... just be sure to check on who's in charge of event maintenace making sure there is someone willing to make sure event is well ran.

Knowledgeable people, interesting exhibits and not busy. Nice supply of small souvenirsread more

This is our second visit to Vaudeville. We and another couple wanted to visit Pedernales Cellars,…read morewhich was a great experience and worthy of a separate Yelp review. During our wine tasting, we made reservations for a late lunch at Vaudeville. Reservations are highly recommended. Our server was excellent in all aspects...friendly, accommodating, recommendations, etc. I had a delicious French dip and my wife had the Reuben, which was also delicious. We split the two. The sandwiches are large and my wife took half of hers home. The vibe was cheerful....talking and laughter, but not at all too loud or obnoxious. If you are in Fredericksburg, I highly recommend Vaudeville. We have not had dinner there, but look forward to it on another occasion.

This is absolutely a gem! The restaurant is downstairs from a wonderful shop with such beautiful…read morepieces and candles. The restaurant is dimly lit creating a very intimate setting with the most helpful staff. Amy served us and was helpful with recommendations and allowed us to slowly move through the menu. Every dish was wonderful, fresh, and tasty. The top dish was a surprise to me but the She Crab Curry soup was such a unique dish. Spicy and savory with the most comforting feeling. The wine recommendation was also superb and the dessert a great way to end the evening. I'll def come back!

I've lived in Kerrville for over 16 years but have never visited the Mansion. Hearing of the…read morespecial Christmas tours this week, a friend and I decided to go. This special tour benefited the Hill Country Youth Orchestra; having played in the San Antonio Youth Orchestra, I couldn't pass up the opportunity to make a small donation and take a tour to boot. As expected, the Mansion was decorated for the season; the garlands wrapped around the banisters were particularly beautiful. We started on the second floor, which resembles a large ballroom, with a short video presentation on the history of the place and its occupants throughout the years. A short presentation by a docent followed whereupon we were free to look around to our hearts content. Then it was down to the first floor where the two highlights were a beautiful parquet floor and a chandelier which was an original fixture of the building. There were hand-blown bulbs of colored glass which, unfortunately, could not be lit lest they burst. Then it was into the kitchen for cookies and wassail; those who wished could step out into the garden with its beautiful hand-crafted fountain. Of particular interest was a glass-pane door flanked by two large pineapple statues, the symbol in the South of hospitality. If you're in Kerrville, try to avail yourself of a tour of the wonderful home, especially if you have children with you. They can see first hand what life was like more than a century ago and come away with memories of this beautiful place.
