After breakfast we visited the Lyndon Baines Johnson Presidential Museum, located within site of the University of Texas at Austin, the Longhorns stadium.
We were told that President Lyndon Baines Johnson loved this balcony view from his living quarters not only because he could hear the Longhorn games, but he could get on a loudspeaker to invite all the fans to his museum.
Here are 2 views of the replica of the LBJ Oval Office:
I was impressed by a display of an original newspaper reporting on the assassination of MLK, Jr. The photo of the Lorraine Motel is clearly seen. Since we had just been to the Lorraine Motel, this was especially meaningful.
And who could not be impressed seeing LBJ's own Texan boots!
I'd rank the LBJ Museum and Library as one of the best, really portraying the many facets of a very complicated man, President during extremely turbulent times.
