National Museum of the Pacific War

On the battlefield and on the home front, ordinary Americans rose to the challenge of turning back the greatest threat to freedom and democracy of the 20th century. Their achievement is the story told at the National Museum of the Pacific War, featuring artifacts, advanced media, custom animations, and stunning films and photographs from the era. The complex, located in downtown Fredericksburg, includes three museums with 45,000 square feet of exhibit space and lessons that will last a lifetime.

Lyndon B Johnson Ranch

President Johnson had a deep attachment to the place and its heritage. The LBJ Ranch was where he was born, lived, died, and was buried. After the President’s death in 1973, Mrs. Johnson continued to live at the Ranch part-time until her death in 2007. Visitors can now tour the Ranch at their own pace in their private vehicles, with the ability to stop at sites along the way, such as the President’s birthplace, the Johnson family cemetery, and the Johnsons' ranch house, known as the Texas White House.

Texas Rangers Heritage Center

Situated next to Historic Fort Martin Scott, the Texas Rangers Heritage Center boasts the Ranger Ring of Honor, a striking bronze sculpture titled "The Legend, The Lore, The Law," as well as an open-air pavilion, an amphitheater, and the Campanili Bell Tower. Throughout the year, the center hosts special events such as chuckwagon dinners, cowboy breakfasts, cowboy church, and live music.
