Best Trip To The Sixties

Lyndon Baines Johnson Library and Museum

All ex-presidents do the library thing, but LBJ drew one of the wildest cards of this century, the tumultuous Sixties, and his library is like no other. Including a near-lifesized replica of the Oval Office, there are countless mementos from this extraordinary time. The profound depictions of the cultural revolution cut to the quick. Using music, film, and images in state-of-the-art presentations, the gloriously incoherent Sixties are revisited in a mysteriously healing way. We're not ashamed to admit it: We choked up and will forever be haunted by LBJ's words: "We tried." Admission free.
