Bonham Quilt Hop at the Sam Rayburn House


Sam Rayburn House State Historic Site

For the first time at the Rayburn House, we will display five quilts from the Washington-on-the-Brazos State Historic Site collection. The Texas Declaration of Independence was signed on March 2, 1836, at Washington-on-the-Brazos. Although the quilts we will display are not from the Texas Independence era, they are quilts from the Washington, Texas, area that date from the 1890s to the 1960s. These quilts will be displayed throughout the first floor of the Sam Rayburn House, and visitors can tour the quilt display areas for free during the Quilt Hop weekend.

We will also have a new activity for those visiting the Rayburn House – Quiltzee! Several other places around Bonham will also have quilts on display, so this event is a great time to explore not only the house of Sam Rayburn, but also the town he called home. During the Quilt Hop, we will only have tours of the first-floor quilt display areas of the home, and these tours can be taken at any point from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. on Friday, July 29th and Saturday, July 30th.
