The
Clinton Birthplace Home National Historic Site
is the two-story white frame house which belonged to Clinton's
grandparents. This is where Clinton lived from his birth in 1946 until
age four. The house is furnished with items that date to time period
when the president lived there. Clinton moved to Hot Springs when he was
seven but the
Hope
home served as the center of his family life (he spent summers and
weekends there) until his grandfather, Eldridge Cassidy, died in 1956
and the house was sold. The home was occupied until it was acquired by
the Clinton Birthplace Foundation, which was created in 1993 during
Clinton's presidency. Restoration of the home began in 1995 and it
opened to the public two years later. Legislation signed into law by
President Obama resulted in national historic site status. Located at
117 South Hervey in Hope. 870-777-4455;
