Located on the San Marcos downtown square, the LBJ Museum was established in 1997 and opened in 2006 to honor the 36th President of the United States, a 1930 graduate of Southwest Texas State Teachers College (now Texas State University). The museum offers exhibits of Johnson’s early years as a student and as a teacher in Cotulla, Tx that shaped his future political career.
The Museum is free and open to the public from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., Thursday to Saturday.
