Johnson National Historic Park are closed with employees being furloughed. Although you can take self guided walks at Johnson Settlement, the bathrooms are not open and there are no personnel on site. Employees have no access to their emails or work phones. Operations at the Gillespie County Airport will continue as funding for current projects were already allocated, according to Airport Manager Tony Lombardi.
