Things to do while in Johnson City

The visitor center, his boyhood home, and the historic Johnson Settlement are all within a short walk of each other. It’s an easy way to spend an hour or two and pick up some local history without committing to a long tour.

This restored 1880s feed mill turned science museum is one of the most surprising stops in Hill Country. Kids love it because everything is hands-on like robotics, engineering challenges, interactive exhibits. But plenty of adults end up having just as much fun! It’s a great option for hot afternoons or days when you want something indoors.
