Bobcat Build yesterday brought together hundreds of Texas State student organizations and local groups in an effort to beautify the city. My morning with the Texas State Latino Student Association lead me to a surprising discovering hidden on a corner of the town square - the Lydon Baines Johnson Museuem in San Marcos. The little known LBJ museum exists in the shadow of the its elaborate uptown counterpart, the Lyndon Baines Johnson Presidential Library and Museum in Austin. The museum, aside from a weedy back area and attic badly in need of sweeping (which my group helped change), offers a small insight into the life of LBJ and the San Marcos community. The museum features one of LBJ's original hats, copies of his university report cards, and historical tales from San Marcos locals. The museum is open Thursday and Friday 1 p.m. - 5 p.m., Saturday 10 a.m. - 5 p.m. and Sunday 1 p.m. - 5 p.m.
