Features

Explore Lyndon B. Johnson National Historical Park

Discover park stories by exploring collections right on the home screen. Quickly delve into a topic or site that interests you, from the major resources of the park to going on self-guiding walking tours. Alternatively, you can explore the park via the interactive map, or even search for a site you've heard about.

Navigation

Pinpoint your location and plan where to go next, even while offline! The app shows your location on the map (even when offline), as well as information about locations nearby. Search for specific locations to get more information about them.

Interactive Map

See where in the park you are, find what is nearby; and show specific service locations on this map. If you've downloaded the app content ahead of your visit, the map will continue to work for you without an internet connection!

Using the App

Depending on your provider, you may find limited cellular service in some locations of the park. In order to make use of the app while in the park, follow these simple steps before you arrive:

  1. Download the app.

  2. From the main park screen, toggle the switch on for "Save this park for offline use."

  3. To refresh the offline park content: when within a cell service or wi-fi area, select the "My Settings" icon from the top right of the screen, select "Downloaded Parks," and click on the refresh symbol next to the park name.

By doing this, most of the app content will be available for use in the park (the exceptions being alerts, calendar updates, and real-time updates—accessing those items before leaving service will at least keep that information in the app). Even without cellular service, the app will be able to share your location on the map and bring up all site content.

 

Download the App

The app is free and available on the App Store and on Google Play.
