Bonham, Texas -- Two unique tours and an embroidery class make up February programs at the Sam Rayburn House State Historic Site. Join us for the first of our 50th anniversary tours on February 4 at 10:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. These tours go in-depth with the history of the physical changes that happened at the Rayburn House and grounds, stories about the people who lived in the home, and more!

The 50th anniversary tours last approximately one to one and a half hours and cost $10 per person (joint tickets with the Eisenhower Birthplace State Historic Site do not cover this tour). Registration is required – contact us at (903) 583-5558 or email Margo.McCutcheon@thc.texas.gov to register.

The 50th anniversary tours celebrate our 50th year
as a museum and will occur on the first Tuesday of every other month this year.
