Stewards VISTA: Lyndon B Johnson National Park Year 2
 
 
 
Lyndon B. Johnson NHP and the YMCA of Austin collaborate each year to offer outdoor education programs during summer camp to connect youth with their national parks and the environmental and civil rights legacy of President Lyndon B. Johnson. Through this project, Lyndon B. Johnson NHP seeks to expand its outreach by collaborating with the YMCA of Austin to offer education and outreach programs year-round. This vision includes partnering with YMCAs throughout the Texas Hill Country, including Austin and San Antonio areas. Join Lyndon B. Johnson National Historical Park and its partners on their efforts to inspire the youth through outdoor education programs inspired by the landscape of the Texas Hill Country and its history. Lyndon B. Johnson National Historical Park was established when the enabling legislation adopted by Congress was signed into law on December 2, 1969. The purpose of Lyndon B. Johnson National Historical Park is to protect the historic structures and Texas Hill Country landscapes linked to the ancestry, life, and legacy of President Johnson and provide opportunities for visitors to compellingly experience these places that shaped the personality, character, and political philosophy of Lyndon Johnson throughout his life and that served as the setting for a remote White House during his presidency.
