LBJ State Park: Sauer-Beckmann Living History Farm

[dalthauser]

The Lyndon B Johnson State Park is located on Hwy 290 Between Johnson City and Stonewall Texas. It's a beautiful park for a picnic, and there are lots of activities planned throughout the year. The visitor center offers tours, and you can get a cd for your car for a driving tour. I am looking forward to returning very soon.

The Sauer-beckmann Farmstead is a living history farm. The staff work the farm just like it was worked in 1915 using the same implements and without running water and electricity. Such a great history lesson.

I went with my friend Bea, and we had a great time. I went specifically for the sausage making demonstration, and it was a good learning experience. I was wishing my husband was there with me the whole time - he's gonna really love this place! (they are open on Wednesdays, so we'll go back together).

Can I link out to those images somewhere and read your captions on what is really happening and what I am looking at? Those are super interesting to me and I'd like to learn more. :)

I don't have captions Dawn, but I'll work on that and give you a link to it :-)

That would have been an awesome place to visit! And learning sausage making would have been a handy skill to learn.
