The LBJ Ranch is about 15 miles west of his boyhood home. On the ranch his birthplace and the one room school house he went to. The cemetery he is in, is a private cemetery the family still owns. For what would have been his 100th birthday this past August, the National Park Service opened up the office he used. The park ranger that gave the tour of his office said that he like to listen to elevator music. His office was not a very big office. The park ranger also said that the family leases out parts of the ranch and one of their grandsons still hunts on the ranch. Cattle still roam the ranch. . They said that he bought the ranch home from a aunt. They also said on the tour that Mrs. Johnson bought a radio station in Austin with some money she got when a member of her family passed away. The stations call sign is LBJ. I believe they said shortly after he passed away they started to play rock music. His boyhood home was a very simple. That is where his political career started. He gave a speech on the front porch.
