Sam Rayburn Museum, Bonham, Texas
The centerpiece of the Sam Rayburn Museum is a replica of the formal office of the Speaker of the House of Representatives. Once the museum opened in 1957, Sam Rayburn utilized the replica office as a meeting place whenever he was in Bonham between sessions of Congress. The room contains original furnishings from the Speaker’s office in the Capitol, including Rayburn’s personal desk, red leather furniture, and rug.
