This Hill Country town may be small, but it boasts some of the biggest personalities in Texas. While it wasn’t named after him, this community was the home of Lyndon B. Johnson, the 36th President of the United States of America.
To learn about his roots, visit the Lyndon B. Johnson National Historical Park and start in town at LBJ’s Boyhood home where he developed his love for politics and also see the Johnson Settlement where Johnson’s grandfather lived during the Chisholm Trail Days. Then follow Highway 290 West and visit the Texas White House to tour the ranch and beautiful home that LBJ called home when not in Washington and see the big live oaks in the front yard where LBJ used to host cabinet meetings. Also don’t miss the Texas State Park which is also on the site.
Unfortunately, the Sculpture Ranch has permanently closed since we filmed this episode.
Of course, a day trip this epic deserves a snack that’s just as epic. Stop by Whittington’s to pick up a stick of jerky which has been making all kinds of jerky (from beef to pork to turkey) for 50 years! It’s some of the best in Texas!
All this travel will certainly make you hungry, so head into town and grab some grub at Ronnie’s BBQ. Once a convenience store, the BBQ slowly took over everything else, and today you’ll find it packed with locals looking for some of Ronnie’s legendary ‘que.
This brewpub has amazing craft beer on tap along with delicious menu items like brick oven pizza and my personal favorite: Pecan Sweet Fried Chicken, which is a fried chicken breast topped with honey butter and pecans! It is killer!
If you are looking to head outdoors, go to Pedernales Falls State Park and take in the natural beauty of the Hill Country. See the namesake, Pedernales Falls, where the clear blue waters of the Pedernales River cascade over limestone slides from pool to pool - you can explore it on a hike or just relax next to it.

Only 64 thousand subscribers? I know this channel is about Texas but it's definitely an underrated gem of TH-cam.
Thanks amigo!
@@TheDaytripper They say that Texas is like another country, but for another country inside another country head down to Starr County, Rio Grande City and Roma won't disappoint if you're looking to make content that's a little different.
@@OutboundShanehe's been to Brownsville and Laredo but those are bigger cities.
I’m obsessed!
I love Johnson City. It's such a beautiful place and definitely one of my favorite hill country towns. Thanks as usual Chet for showing a beautiful Texas and God's country!
I'm traveling from Arizona to Texas in April to see the eclipse and using The Daytripper episodes to plan my trip!
Check out Johnson City in December! Beautiful trees wrapped in white lights, so cool.
Without a doubt one of the most incredible downtowns for Christmas...it and Marble Falls :)
What a great way to make a living getting to drive around the state and get the grand tour all over Texas.
Texas forever
Great vlog sir thanks
Is the Benneni gallery still open? I went there once about 15 years ago and loved it
Sadly no. It closed and they moved away.
You guys should check out Reptilandia if you ever go back!
Great place and even better people.
From Johnson City! Even worked at Pecan Street when he was there, just so happened to be my day off 🥲
I want a sample of everything.
Shoulda stopped at El Charro!
Do you have an episode on the Frio river area--especially Neal's?
Pecan Street Pecan Chicken is the best.
Word!!!!
LBJ was drunken, womanizer!
sorry but the host is not funny by any means and it does hurt the show. the show has enough good elements to be good, doesn't need to have a comedic side to add to it. those side skits was very lame, just stick to the town's features and good.
Hey hey hey LBJ, how many kids did you kill today
That’s honestly his most memorable thing. I just started, his other absolutely abhorrent actions made for an episode?
He was a true communist
Yes, but daytripper is only about positive things
Let's not go there!!!!!!!
