The quaint little town of Hope is situated in southern Arkansas and is famously the birthplace of President Clinton (and is also somewhat famous as the producer of the largest watermelons in the U.S.). You can tour the President William Jefferson Clinton Birthplace Home to see where the young Clinton spent his first four years.

The Hope Visitor’s Center and Museum is also worth a visit – it is situated in the restored Missouri-Pacific Railroad Depot, where you can see a variety of local history exhibits. Other nearby attractions to visit include the Paul W. Klipsch Museum of Audio History, the Historic Washington State Park (where the entire town of Washington has been turned into a state park), and the Crater of Diamonds State Park.
