Arkansas panel scales back activity at Clinton House Museum

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. (AP) - The Advertising and Promotion Commission has pulled back from operations at the former home-turned-museum of Bill and Hillary Clinton in Fayetteville with plans to let the lease expire.

Commissioners voted 6-0 Monday to scale back programming at the Clinton House Museum. Starting Jan. 1, the commission will pay only rent and maintenance expenses until the lease expires with the University of Arkansas on Dec. 31, 2021, according to the Northwest Arkansas Democrat-Gazette.

“Putting together a winding-down plan is not pleasant, it’s not how we thought we would’ve ended the year,” said Molly Rawn, chief executive officer of Experience Fayetteville, which is the city’s tourism bureau. “But it also doesn’t mean there’s still not a really great future for the house out there. I’m committed to working with the Clinton House Museum board to figure out what that looks like.”

In June, the commission cut about $1.3 million from its nearly $5.4 million budget for the year because of the COVID-19 pandemic. The building closed to the public in March.

Several pieces of Clinton family memorabilia are exhibited at the museum house, which was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2010. The Clintons married in the living room of the house in 1975.

Maybe the Foundation can kick in. At least keep the cigar counter open.

Nearly 4 years and the obozo outhouse is still just a concept.

Soon it will be a forgotten mirage like his presidency.

Is that the Clinton Library-Massage Parlor Rush Limbaugh used to talk about?

For four years my daughter went to school there and never did I remotely know about this museum. May the museum quickly fade away into the obscurity the clintoons deserve.

The krinton krime kartel never pays for anything. Someone else will have to pay the bill.

At one bedroom and 1,800 square feet, this unassuming house in Fayetteville, Arkansas holds a special place in history. A future United States President and Secretary of State married in the living room and made their first home here in 1975.

I was surprised that it’s a real thing. It has the patina of self-flattery for the town, not the imprimatur of the egos that were hatched there. And like all things Clinton, when you look close, there’s not much to it.

it’s not how we thought we would’ve ended the year

6-0 votes tells it all
