Lyndon B. Johnson National Historical Park is a United States National Historical Park in central Texas about 50 miles west of Austin in the Texas Hill Country. The park protects the birthplace, home, ranch, and final resting place of Lyndon B. Johnson, 36th President of the United States.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.tpwd.state.tx.us/state-parks/lyndon-b-johnson )〕 During Johnson's administration, the LBJ Ranch was known as the "Texas White House" because the President spent approximately twenty percent of his time in office there.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.lbjlibrary.org/exhibits/the-white-house-years )〕 The park is split into two distinct visitor areas: Johnson City and the LBJ Ranch. The first unit, located in Johnson City, contains the boyhood home of President Johnson and his grandparents' log cabin settlement, as well as the National Park Visitor Center. The second unit is located roughly 14 miles west of Johnson City along the north side of the Pedernales River. Among the sites preserved at the Ranch are the President's (first school ), (birthplace ), (Texas White House ) and the (Johnson Family Cemetery ), where both President and Lady Bird Johnson are buried.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.lbjlib.utexas.edu/johnson/archives.hom/biographys.hom/lbj_bio.asp )〕 The land south of the Pedernales River is operated as Lyndon B. Johnson State Park and Historic Site. To see the LBJ Ranch, visitors take a self-guided auto driving tour from State Park visitor center; a permit is required.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.lakesandhills.com/lbjpark.htm )〕 The park was authorized on December 2, 1969, as Lyndon B. Johnson National Historic Site and was redesignated as a National Historical Park on December 28, 1980. Present holdings are approximately 1,570 acres (6.4 km2), 674 acres (2.7 km2) of which are federal. The Johnson family continues to donate land to this property; their most recent gift was in April 1995.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.nationalparks.org/explore-parks/lyndon-b-johnson-national-historical-park )〕 ==Gallery== LBJ State Park sign, TX IMG_1466.JPG|LBJ State Park and Historic Area is separated by the Pedernales River from the Lyndon B.
