President William Jefferson Clinton Birthplace Home National Historic Site preserves the 1st home of our 42nd US President. President Clinton lived in this home from birth until he was four years old with him Mom and maternal grandparents.
The house can only be visited on a guided tour of the visitor center. We were sadly too late to take a guided tour but were able to walk around the outside of the house and visit the visitor center. It was a rainy dreary day during our visit so the pictures are a bit grey and dismal. Please don’t judge the house based on how dark and dismal of a day we visited.
