In addition, a visit to Lyndon B. Johnson National Historical Park will be more enjoyable if you are familiar with a few things before you arrive.

Please remember:

Historic structures and objects can be fragile. Please do not touch items when on tours of historic buildings.

Many visitors come to the park to enjoy the beautiful wildflowers that dot the Hill Country landscape every Spring. Please stay on marked trails to avoid trampling delicate vegetation, and do not pick the wildflowers.

By following these simple rules you will help us to preserve the unique historical and natural resources found in the park so that others may enjoy them for many years to come.
