Then, you wander around this Old West Town with a church, saloon, production office, Texas Rangers Headquarters and jail, mercantile, barber shop, undertaker and more! Some movies were filmed here and many of the buggies were used in films such as True Grit, Lonesome Dove, Hildago, Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Slayer and more. There are over 200 unique buggies, carriages and wagons dating from the 1860s - 1900s at the museum. Pistol Packing Paula was our guide and she knows everything there is to know about all the buggies in the museum. By the way, she's a world champion pistol twirler! Such a pleasure to listen to!

I'm glad to be able to come to this quaint western town museum that has about 300ish antique Buggies for your viewing pleasure. It's family owned and that makes it more special!

There was a sign saying which said free admission, so decided to check it out. It was an old building and when I entered I was told to sign in. I guess they want to keep a record of guests and there was a donation jar next to it. I started exploring all about Lyndon Baines Johnson who not only was President of the United States of America but graduated from Texas State University (formerly Southwest Texas State Teachers College in 1930). The museum is a bit small but does recognize his achievements as president by all the Acts he passed. There are some mementos on display and information about Lady Bird Johnson. It is very positive here so will not find anything about the Vietnam War or old political controversies. There is an upstairs but nothing much up there except a few exhibits and a large room for meetings and presentations. I enjoyed it and dropped a few bucks in the donation jar on my way out.

Two years after the bombing in Pearl Harbor the Pacific War led to the defeat of the Japanese at Guadalcanal in 1943. This is a nice park to stroll through. Lots of history and memoriam dedicated to all of the fallen soldiers and other who contributed during the Pacific War. Also, nobody complained that we walked our dog through the park with us (no potty though please).

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.

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.
