Do you see flying geese, a log cabin, or some pine burrs? Then you must be at the Sam Rayburn House State Historic Site! As part of this year’s Bonham Quilt Hop, we are displaying quilts from the Star of the Republic Museum, which is part of the Washington-on-the-Brazos State Historic Site in Washington, TX. The Star of the Republic Museum collects and preserves the material culture of the Texas Republic (1836-1846), and although this museum is currently closed for renovations until 2025, we are happy to display five of the museum’s quilts! With a Log Cabin patterned quilt from the 1870s to a Boston Common quilt from 1975, join us to see these quilts on display at our site for the first time.
The Bonham Quilt Hop takes place on July 26 and July 27 from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. The Sam Rayburn House will be open and free for guests to visit during this time, but only the quilt display areas on the first floor of the House will be available to view – we will not conduct full tours of the House during the Quilt Hop event. We are one of nine sites in Bonham and Honey Grove participating in this year’s Quilt Hop. The Sam Rayburn House is located at 890 W. State Hwy 56 in Bonham, TX. Please call us at (903) 583-5558 or email Margo.McCutcheon@thc.texas.gov with any questions you may have.
Join us on July 27 as we celebrate National Moth Week at Magical Moth Night! Equipped with gentle light features to attract them, we’ll explore the hidden beauty of moths and other nocturnal creatures. This unique event offers an unforgettable look at nature’s most captivating night-time creatures. See the night as you’ve never seen it before!
