The home was built in 1939[1] and was purchased by the Bush family in 1951 for $9,000 . They lived in the 1400square feet home until late 1955. It was also the earliest childhood home of Governor Jeb Bush. The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2004. It was purchased for $100,000 to become the museum, which had its opening dedication on April 11, 2006. The house, formerly the George W. Bush Childhood Home, was transferred to the Texas Historical Commission in 2023.
