Celebrate LBJ's 100th Birthday! 

On August 27, 2008, Lyndon B. Johnson would have celebrated his 100th birthday!  In honor of this milestone, the Texas White House will be officially opened to the public.  The first room which will be made available for public tours will be the President's Office, restored to its 1963-1968 appearance.  At this time, the remainder of the home is still undergoing restoration and will be opened in the future.
