LBJ Museum

Was surprised to find this great little free museum in downtown San Marcos. Staff was informative and I didn't know that before politics LBJ attended Texas State to become a teacher. The city of San Marcos TX is very proud of this fact.

Really nice fact base on LBJ's time in SouthWest Texas state....who knew he was a teacher? A real nice lady from West Virginia gave me a quick tour. ADA wheelchair accessible. Free but donations are nice. A great way to kill 30-45 mins.

This was a really nice stop on the square. The lady working the front desk was very kind. The biggest plus to this museum is that it's free! I appreciated that there were so many artifacts in such a small space. I also appreciated that there was an interactive portion where you could write a response to some questions on a note card and slide it into a plastic display spot that other guests would be able to see. This museum painted LBJ as a leader and a policymaker, but it also asked museum-goers about the legacy of some of the policies he passed and whether or not they had a positive effect on the history of America. I think my favorite thing I learned was LBJ's part in NASA being able to put man on the moon. He was an interesting figure, that's for sure! I think my favorite part of the museum was LBJ's voice being played over the speaker system. It made me feel as if he were there, walking along with me as I toured the museum. Definitely worth a drop-by if you happen to be on the Square in San Marcos looking for something to do!

Such a nice little museum. Absolutely loved it! Definitely a cool place to check out when your downtown (also found out from one of the employees that LBJ was a history major, just like me!)

I had been wanting to visit this museum for quite some time! This small museum on the town square makes for an enjoyable and short visit. There weren't any crowds, and I was able to take my time through the exhibits of my favorite Texan president. I loved the pop up exhibit about the importance of voting, a message we should all take to heart. I look forward to visiting again and seeing updates to the small Lady Bird exhibit. What a brave and enterprising lady she was! Remember to sign the guestbook and consider donating to the museum on your way in or out - it's how these places of learning survive. We Texans have much to be grateful for from the Johnsons, and I'm glad there is a local stop carrying on their message and mission.

Love the staff and displays. Great spot to buzz through and learn to appreciate Ladybird and LBJ much much more:))

went to talk from retired secret service man ..very good!!

Nice mini museum to stop by as you're shopping and eating downtown. Good information on LBJ's life and accomplishments. Nice and friendly staff. Good to spend 30 min - 1 hr.

I absolutely loved this place thank you for the Harris Family Baby shower Ms. Debbie.

A lot is closed due to covid but the ranch was open. Super time walking around seeing some animals and houses LBJ lived in along with stories of his life there. Very interesting and fun.

We loved this nice museum with some rare exhibits especially the ones from the Senate and presidents desk , definitely worth visiting if you are here in the city !!

I'm one of the beneficiaries of the LBJ administration for education of the poor. I really enjoyed being able to read the articles and captions while listening to the recordings of Lyndon's jokes and funny stories of his term in office. I wasn't old enough to know anything about him or politics, I'm sorry I missed out on knowing the man.

Really enjoyed this little museum downtown so
