Description
Following guidance from the CDC and recommendations from state and local public health in consultation with NPS Public Health Service officers, the 2020 Frontier Christmas and Lamplight Tours of the Boyhood Home are cancelled.
In conjunction with the Johnson City Community`s celebration of "Lights Spectacular", the LBJ Boyhood Home will be open for lamplight tours each Saturday from 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. on November 28, December 5, and December 12. National park rangers will provide tours of this historic house and explain life in Johnson City before rural electrification. The LBJ Boyhood Home is located on Elm Street, one block south of Highway 290 ("Main Street" in Johnson City).
In addition, for one night only on December 12, special activities will showcase Christmas traditions from the 1860s —from the time of the president’s grandparents.
This park event is complemented by the stunning lighting display at the Pedernales Electric Cooperative, across the street from the Boyhood Home, with majestic live oaks resplendent in hundreds of thousands of tiny white lights. In addition, the Blanco County Courthouse, just two blocks north of the Boyhood Home on Avenue G, is the centerpiece of the town`s seasonal celebration, "Lights Spectacular", and is not to be missed.
