About Sauer-Beckmann Living History Farm

The Sauer-Beckmann farm sits inside Lyndon B. Johnson State Park and Historic Site. Park rangers in period clothing carry out farm work such as tending animals, cooking on a wood stove, and doing household tasks, and they answer visitors' questions. Visitors walk through on a self-guided basis. The property passed from the Sauer family, who settled it in 1869, to the Beckmann family, and it was sold to Texas Parks and Wildlife in 1966.
