The Texas White House was officially opened to the public on August 27, 2008. The first room which is available for public tours is the President's Office, restored to its 1963-1968 appearance. At this time, the remainder of the home is still undergoing restoration and will be opened in the future. Visitors have two options for traveling to the Texas White House: in their own private vehicle or by ranger-guided bus tour.

For the first time, the LBJ Ranch has been opened to private vehicular traffic. This is a test period that will assist the National Park Service in planning for future public access to the Ranch.
