LBJ RANCH - THE TEXAS WHITE HOUSE
One road to the LBJ White House crossed this dam. You can see where the road is in the middle of the Pedernales River.
The Texas White House.
One of many huge Live-Oak trees on the property.
When LBJ bought this house from his aunt, it consisted of only the center part where you can see a beige stone wall. To the left was built an office for LBJ and to the right was enlarged living spaces for the family.
There was an air field that most guest from Washington and abroad used to get to the ranch. However, he would often take folks for a ride and drive across this dam that had a road beneath it scaring his visitors who thought they were being driven into the river. It didn't help that he said his brakes had failed. Apparently, no one tried to save the President first!
