I would imagine that Presidents generate a lot of paperwork. Considering the number of letters, briefs, reports and the bills they sign into law, it has to be quite the job to collect and mange those for the presidential library that is sure to follow. Living in Texas, we are fortunate to have several within driving distance. Last summer, our family visited the George Bush Presidential Library and Museum in College Station, TX and recently visited the LBJ Presidential Library in Austin.

While not visible in the Bush Library, the LBJ had a multi-story viewing area where visitors could see bookcase after bookcase containing binders of documents from Johnson’s term in office. While those floors are not open to the general public, they can be visited by appointment for historians, researchers and others.

I have driven by this building many times when visiting Austin over the years, and am glad we finally took the time to visit it. Tickets are very affordable and the exhibits only takes a few hours to go through. Even if you are not a Democrat, you will still enjoy the visit 😉
