Guests of the LBJ Ranch signed wet concrete—instead of the more common paper register—to signify their visit. Known as the "Friendship Stones," these replicas represent a "who's who" from the Johnson era; signatures of fellow politicians, cabinet members, astronauts, religious leaders, celebrities, even beloved dogs were among those immortalized in concrete. For preservation, the original stones are kept in curatorial storage, but look for some originals on display in the park visitor centers.
