Bonham, Texas -- Join us at the Sam Rayburn House State Historic Site on March 15 from 12:00 p.m. – 3:00 p.m. for an afternoon of goat and gardening activities. Just in time for Spring Break, this event is perfect for families and children of all ages!
We will have two goat milking demonstrations from a local farmer, and Cypress Lake Ranch will provide two demonstrations about making goat milk soap. The Bonham Public Library will also be joining us to give out gardening advice!
Once you’ve gotten your goat and garden knowledge up to date, stroll around our site to play some games, plant and take a seed to begin your own garden at home, and make your own butter!
Our historic outbuildings, including our garage and barn, hold their own special surprises that you won’t want to miss. This free event is a perfect way to spend an afternoon and welcome the Spring season.
We are offering tours of the Rayburn House on the hour from 10:00 a.m. – 3:00 p.m. during this event. For a tour of Sam Rayburn’s historic home, adults are $4.00 while children ages 6 – 18 and college students are $3.00, as are seniors and veterans. Active duty servicemembers and children ages five and under can tour the home for free. Family rates are available. All children must be accompanied by an adult.
