Johnson National Historical Park teamed up to create an authentic 1967 barbecue on the banks of the Pedernales River just as President and Mrs. Johnson did during the presidential years on the LBJ Ranch. This special event included a social hour of music, exhibits, food and drinks as guests were welcomed by “President Johnson,” portrayed by actor Michael Stuart. A 1967 Lincoln convertible was available for photo opportunities and a ride around the ranch. The Fort Griffin Fandangle took the stage with Texas’ oldest outdoor musical, based on the pioneer chronicles of West Texas. This spectacle was presented at the original 1967 barbecue hosted by the Johnsons to honor members of the Organization of American States. | [View Photos...] |
