The abundant wildlife of the Hill Country is highlighted by
white tail deer, white face cattle, horses, longhorns and bison.
The abundance of wildflowers augment these hillsides. The Lyndon
B. Johnson State Park & Historic Site is in Gillespie County,
between Fredericksburg and Johnson City and is on about 800
acres. It is the heart of the Texas Hill Country where our 36th
President was born, reared, and died. Perhaps no other president
is more closely identified with one parcel of real estate –
including his birthplace, boyhood home, and ranch, as well as
his ancestors' pioneer settlement. In this "home place," the
values and world view of The Rancher President were formed,
later to manifest themselves in the political arena during 37
years of public service.
