Bill Clinton's father was killed three months before he was born. When his mother, Virginia, went to work in New Orleans as a nurse, Bill stayed in Hope, Arkansas with his grandmother and grandfather. The first four years of his life were spent in Hope and even after his mother married again and the family moved to Hot Springs he still spent vacations and holidays with his grandparents. The friends that he made there became lifelong.
The visitor center has a very, very small exhibit.
The house is adjacent to the visitor center. The neighborhood has become a business district and Clinton's birthplace is the only house left so you have to image it as a small town with kids running through the backyards. The house can be visited by guided tour. The ranger who conducted out tour was very knowledgeable.
The visitor center is accessible. A paved walkway leads to a ramp that accesses the house. The first floor is accessible and photos of the second floor bedrooms are available.
RVs will fit in the lot if parked through or across the spaces. Birthplace 33.66733, -93.59575
