About Lyndon Baines Johnson Museum of San Marcos
The museum focuses on the period Lyndon B. Johnson spent as a college student and schoolteacher in San Marcos, and how those years shaped the Great Society legislation he later advanced as president. Exhibits, online materials, and programs draw on his connections to Texas State University, including his visits to campus for the Job Corps announcement and the Higher Education Act signing. Visitors can view permanent and online exhibits, and the museum also hosts events, tours, and fundraising galas.
