Lyndon B. Johnson Library and Museum

UNIVERSITY AREA. This facility – housed in a contemporary, ten-story, travertine-clad structure – is a virtual treasure trove of papers and memorabilia from the often flamboyant and much beloved former president's life. Exhibits include a replica of the Oval Office from LBJ's era, along with gifts of state received by him, displays from his boyhood, and a tribute to Mrs. Johnson's humanitarian and environmental works. President Johnson insisted that no one be required to pay to enter, so admission and parking are free.
