Sun to Moon Gallery presents: LBJ Ranch and the Texas Hill Country
Wide-ranging images from Dallas photographer Scot Miller’s first year as Artist-in-the-Park for the Lyndon B. Johnson National Historical Park, featuring the LBJ Ranch in Stonewall, Texas, as well as images from the Texas Hill Country are featured in this new exhibition at the recently relocated Sun to Moon Gallery, next to the Trinity River in the Design District.
On Saturday, May 16 from 1-5 PM, Scot Miller and LBJ National Historical Park Superintendent Russ Whitlock will be the special guests at a wine & cheese reception. The public is invited to come talk to both men, see this stunning new exhibition of color photographs, hear recordings of LBJ and Lady Bird while viewing the exhibition and learn more about the Park as it celebrates its 40th anniversary later this year. This is the first showing ever for the majority of the images in the exhibit.
Benefiting Friends of LBJ National Historical Park... Sun to Moon Gallery is making a donation to the non-profit Friends of LBJ National Historical Park group for every print sold from this exhibition.
About the LBJ Ranch Many people are familiar with the most recent Texas White House in Crawford, Texas, but the original Texas White House in the Texas Hill Country town of Stonewall, was home to our 36th President, Lyndon B. Johnson, his wife, Lady Bird, and their family. In his five-year presidency in the 1960’s, LBJ spent almost 25% of his time at the ranch. On December 2, 1969, Congress established Lyndon B. Johnson National Historic Site (www.nps.gov/lyjo) "to preserve in public ownership historically significant properties associated with the life of Lyndon B. Johnson." Renamed Lyndon B. Johnson National Historical Park on December 28, 1980, the park grew from the original site, which included President Johnson's boyhood home and birthplace, to an area of 674 acres encompassed within two distinct park units--the LBJ Ranch and Johnson City.Source: Sun to Moon Gallery
