They had a docent, Mark, who was already underway with one group so we came in for his talk about the first few exhibits. He seemed really into his job. Then we paid the entrance fee. Bonus for the AAA discount. This museum isn't very large but the exhibits are well done. You'll maybe be here like 15 to 20 minutes but it's fun if you don't know a lot about the German immigrants here. There's a small gift store as well. Parking is a small lot.

There was a sign saying which said free admission, so decided to check it out. It was an old building and when I entered I was told to sign in. I guess they want to keep a record of guests and there was a donation jar next to it. I started exploring all about Lyndon Baines Johnson who not only was President of the United States of America but graduated from Texas State University (formerly Southwest Texas State Teachers College in 1930). The museum is a bit small but does recognize his achievements as president by all the Acts he passed. There are some mementos on display and information about Lady Bird Johnson. It is very positive here so will not find anything about the Vietnam War or old political controversies. There is an upstairs but nothing much up there except a few exhibits and a large room for meetings and presentations. I enjoyed it and dropped a few bucks in the donation jar on my way out.

This place is best for little kids and they have several events throughout the year like the haunted village.

I never would have guessed that this house was right there had it not been for geocaching. I thought someone would come out and yell at me for trespassing but even though the official tours have to be arranged via appointment, you can still wander around the grounds and take a look. The view down to the Comal River is really nice as well. Plenty of great pics can be taken just from the outside alone.

The downtown square has some beautiful old buildings, and a scenic view of the flagpole. It's situated right down the road from Shiner, Texas. So you know they get some fresh beer.
