Welcome to
J. Bennett Johnston Visitors Center
The J. Bennett Johnston Waterway Regional Visitor Center provides the opportunity
for people of all ages to learn about the Red River, past and present. The
center tells the story of how the Corps of Engineers worked to tame the mighty
Red for navigation and
recreation. The J. Bennett Johnston Waterway Regional Visitor Center offers
8,300 square feet housing a reception area, theater and exhibition hall with
audiovisual, static and interactive exhibits. The multi-purpose theater provides
a continuous film, highlighting the Red River. As a Regional Visitor Center,
all the states (New Mexico, Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, and Louisiana) which
the Red River passes through are represented. State maps and tour guides are
available to the public for all these states.
