Offering a more intimate glimpse into the life of
Speaker Sam Rayburn is the Sam Rayburn House Museum. The twelve-room
home built in 1916 still gives the feeling that Mr. Sam or other
family members have just stepped out and will return shortly.
In addition to a collection of original
furnishings and family memorabilia, the house represents a
"snapshot" of America’s past.
Preserved here is a view of family life in
North Texas and American during the mid-1900s.
Mr. Sam’s bedroom preserves the statesman’s
strong personality and exhibits many personal mementos acquired
during his half-century of public service.
Operated by the Texas Historical Commission the
Sam Rayburn House Museum is proud to maintain the atmosphere
recognized by Rayburn when he said, "When I get away from
Washington I don’t want to go anywhere else in the world but
home."
