The Clinton First Home Museum in Hope, Ark., will become an official National Park Service historic site at the beginning of next year. Its a two-story house on South Hervey Street that served as the center of future president Bills 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. Theres good stuff inside, such as a Lionel train set little Bills 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 Bills 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.

I took that picture that you posted and one year I used it for a gag gift.
I bought a snow globe that allows you put pictures inside. On one side I had the above picture, on the other side was a typed note that said “Happy Birthday, XXXXX! I never forget an intern. Bill” I had it placed in a planter and delivered to a cousin of mine at the insurance office where she worked.
I didn’t know it at the time, but, she said she had three Bill’s in her office and wondered which one might have sent it. Then one of the other gals noticed the picture of Clinton. Someone piped up “Somebody knows you very well!”
A vial of the very tears he shed at Ron Brown’s funeral?
