The house is on the main drag of Hope. No parking available there. There is a museum to the side and back of the residence with very little parking there. House is much larger than I expected and very nice for that time period. More

Enjoyed the great ladies at the visitors center and museum. It was interesting to see the house and actually see where President Clinton lived and played. More

This was National Park #278 for us, and as with all units of the National Park Service, it was a worthwhile and informative stop. The 15-minute tour gave us enough time to see the house—which was larger than we expected—and understand what Clinton's earliest years must have been like. The visitor center museum is small but packed with information as... More

Though I was paying attention throughout the Clinton years, there is still so much I didn't know about the man. This site is well worth the time. More

Spent several real neat hours here at the Bill Clinton birthplace. Park Rangers, while young, really knew their stuff about Mr. Bill. Be sure to stop by at this very new addition to the National Parks line-up. More

Fun to see Hope. Visitor Center was open. Tours every half hour. We were two minutes late for the noon tour for which there were no takers. But the National Park Service Rangers said too bad, you have to wait until 12:30 (secretly hoping we'd go away). By the time we wandered around the exhibit and the yard, it was... More

President Clinton was born here and lived in Hope until her was around 6 years old before moving to Hot Springs, AR where he lived until heading off to college. My family and I stopped here while passing through the area this past June. It had just been designated a National Park a couple months before. We toured the visitor... More

The newest National Park, the birthplace of Bill Clinton has gotten a face lift and some much needed federal dollars. The Rangers were friendly and fun and we were the only family on the tour. The house is open, so you get to walk in every room and linger. There are many photos of Bill and his family. We sat... More

My brother and I were glad to have the opportunity to visit President Bill Clinton's l st Home Museum, Exhibit Center and Museum store in Hope, Arkansas. We were given a guided tour by a very knowledgeable, hometown staff member through the entire exhibit. Since we went early in the day and it was not crowded, we were able to... More
