This compilation of home movies of the Dale Baker family offers a look at family life in late 1950s and early 60s Austin. Family outings to local landmarks such as Deep Eddy, House Park Field, Palmer Auditorium, and Mueller Airport are featured along with the Lyndon Johnson's ranch in Stonewall. Owner of Dale Baker's BBQ on Lake Austin Boulevard from 1952 to 1975, Baker and family catered many barbecues at the LBJ Ranch during the 1960s, and footage from these events includes such notable personalities as former Mexican president Adolfo Mateos, CBS television reporter Walter Cronkite, and country music performer Eddy Arnold.

Index cards containing details of the film contents were stored inside the film can.
