Bill Clinton museum: What memorabilia should be in it?

The Clinton First Home Museum in Hope, Ark., will become an official National Park Service historic site at the beginning of next year. It’s a two-story house on South Hervey Street that served as the center of future president Bill’s life until he was 10.

With its white clapboards, green trim, broad eaves, and front porch, the place looks like it was tele-transported into this century from the early 1950s. There’s good stuff inside, such as a Lionel train set little Bill’s stepfather gave him. The private foundation that has run the museum for some years and is now donating it to the park service also planted a nice garden in the backyard as a memorial to Bill’s mom, Virginia Cassidy Blythe Clinton Kelley.

But now that the feds are assuming control of the museum, what should be added? The park service, after all, is in the business of trying to maintain reverence for our leaders of the past while placing their lives in a proper context.

Totally accurate.
