Johnson Boyhood Home Restored and Open to Public
The Lyndon Baines Johnson boyhood home in Johnson City Texas has been restored with family furnishings and reproductions. The Texas Historical Society awards the site an official commemorative medallion as it opens four days a week. The project drew help from LBJ’s wife Lady Bird and sister Lucia Johnson Alexander, who preserved memories from 1913 to 1926.
