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."
