LBJ's Boyhood Home To Partially Close For A Couple Months For Preservation Work

Share
By NPT Staff - June 22nd, 2015

Restoration work will require partial closure of the house Lyndon Baines Johnson grew up in in Texas/David and Kay Scott.

The home that Lyndon Baines Johnson grew up in will partially close on Monday, July 13, and reopen in late September after needed preservation work has been completed.

Officials at the Lyndon B. Johnson National Historical Park say that during the closure window frames, wood siding, and porch flooring will be replaced. Completion of this project will require the partial removal of some historic furnishings and periodic altering of the tour route for the public tours, the staff said in a release. Due to the nature of the preservation process, there may be times the home will need to be closed completely to the public. Stay on top of the closings by checking the park's website. 

Lyndon Johnson moved into the home in Johnson City, Texas, at age five in 1913. He lived in the house through most of his childhood. In 1969, the house came into the National Park System. In the early 1970s the National Park Service restored and furnished the house much as it would have appeared in the 1920s when the future president was a teenager.
