Texas has been called home by several presidents, including Lyndon B. Johnson. His ranch in Stonewall was dubbed the ‘Texas White House,’ as he spent a considerable amount of time there as president and welcomed leaders from around the globe.

Towering over the Texas White House front yard is the Cabinet Oak, a live oak estimated to be nearly 300 years old. This oak had been present for centuries before President Johnson bought the ranch in 1951. This stately live oak earned its name by hosting countless cabinet and staff meetings to discuss issues of the day ranging from the Vietnam War to Civil Rights.

In 1972, the Johnsons donated the Texas White House to the National Park Service. In the 2010s, the Cabinet Oak began to show signs of decline until one of our foresters helped diagnose the underlying problem—root rot from heavily watered Saint Augustine grass in the yard. Since then, the grass has been replaced with compost and mulch to allow for aeration of the soil and the oaks roots. Currently, the Texas White House is under renovation and is expected to reopen in late 2025.
