Bill Clinton Birthplace Home National Historic Site- Hope Arkansas

We stopped at the Bill Clinton Birthplace Home in Hope Arkansas on our last road trip!

There is something very special about the fact that this place is so well preserved, and the fact that the National Park manages the site!

AND, it is rare that a site associated with a living person gets this kind of treatment.  After visiting sites associated with Lewis and Clark, Lincoln, and others, this one seems a bit modern.

For the low price of FREE, you can have a guided tour and actually walk through the first home that President Bill Clinton knew!

Our guide Mr. Charles actually met President Clinton when he stopped by to dedicate the place!  He said our former president was very nice!  Mr. Charles answered every question and even gave us specific directions to visit the OTHER home in town where Clinton lived.

The second home was was nice, it had a marker, and other relevant displays on the outside.
