We love welcoming guests from all over the world to the first home of Bill and Hillary Clinton and where they were married. The Museum is situated in the beautiful Ozark Mountains in Fayetteville, Arkansas. This home has a special place in local, national, and international history. Bill Clinton took Hillary Rodham's hand in marriage 17 years before he would be elected President. The home's series of owners also have deep roots in local Arkansas history. The museum houses memorabilia of Clinton's early political career, including his campaigns for US House of Representatives and Arkansas Attorney General. Temporary and timely exhibits cover the history of Secretary Clinton's life in public service and her time in Arkansas. The collections include a faithful replica of Hillary's wedding dress and a timeline of the Clinton years in Fayetteville. Our museum store has books related to the Clinton legacy, Arkansas history, Arkansas politics, and the culture of the Ozarks. We also have mementos, gifts, and more for a keepsake of your visit. The Museum is open to the public and donations are welcome.

This modest Tudor style home in Fayetteville Arkansas was not only The Clinton's first marital home but also the site of there wedding. Their first jobs were as professors at the University of Arkansas Law School. The house is in essentially the same shape as when the Clintons lived in it - altho no furniture remains. Our guide was very knowlegable. An added attraction is a "First Ladies Garden" in the rear of the house which purports to grow an example aof each first ladies favorite flower. Nice!
