Sam Rayburn House Museum web site Sam Rayburn, one of the most powerful and influential politicians of the 20th century, was in his second of 24 terms in the U.S. House of Representatives when he built a two-story home in 1916 on a 125-acre farm just west of Bonham. The modest 12-room home cost $2,800 to build. The home was remodeled and enlarged in 1934. At that time, a fourth pillar was added to the frontal facade, and a kitchen was added a few years later. The home exists today as a 20th-century time capsule that preserves the Rayburn family home in the state it existed at the time of Rayburn's death in 1961. The home contains all original Rayburn family furnishings.
