Hope Arkansas

"I Still believe in a place called Hope"

William Jefferson Clinton

After arriving in Little Rock on November 16th I decided to drive down to Hope and see his boyhood home and the home he lived in with his grandparents until he was like 4 yrs old. Both his parents and his grandparents are buried in the cemetery on highway AR-29. The cemetery has a fence on it and has like two one way entrance and two one way exits. The graves have a short rod iron fence around it. When I was there, it was decorated a little bit and there was a sign pointing the way to the grave. The home he lived in with his grandparents was close to being demolished because of being in such disrepair. I cant remember but the lady that gave me the tour said it cost either $200,000 plus to buy the house or to fix it up. Vincent Foster home that he grew up in along with President Clinton's is next store. The phone is in the same spot that it was when his mother got the phone call that his father died in a car accident. His boyhood home is about 2 miles from his grandparents house. The boyhood home you can not tour because it is privately owned. At the cemetery, they had some bunting around the fence that surrounds the graves.
