Razorback football season is winding down, but central Arkansas families have a few more trips to make to Fayetteville. So before or after calling the Hogs at the two home games this month, adults and kids can find a lot of fun and knowledge within walking distance of “The Hill,” as the University of Arkansas campus is known.

One intriguing draw is the site of Bill and Hillary Clinton’s first home, which was also the spot where they married.

The Clinton House Museum, as it’s now known, is a piece of Arkansas history and a touchstone of the state’s most famous political family, with the fitting address of 930 W. Clinton Drive.

Regardless of your political affiliation — or how you voted this month — the quaint English Tudor bungalow, built in 1931 on the edge of campus, is an educational and charming lure for families with some free time. Owned now by the university, it has a bird’s eye view of Bud Walton Arena and a unique past.

The 1,800-square-foot home caught the attention of Hillary Rodham and Bill Clinton in the 1970s when the two were both law professors and he was taking her to the airport for a weekend trip to the Northeast. After two marriage proposals that ended in rejection, Bill Clinton needed a grand gesture. So he purchased the home in 1975 for $17,000 and informed Hillary upon her return to Fayetteville that she had to marry him because he had bought the little house that had captured her fancy.

The two were married two months later in the living room in front of their parents and a few close friends, just over 41 years ago. A replica of Hillary Clinton’s Jessica McClintock Gunnysack wedding dress, which she purchased at Dillard’s department store for $53 the night before her wedding, is on display in the room where the Clintons wed.

Parts of the house remain true to how they were when the couple lived there. The kitchen maintains the look, colors and appliances of the 1970s, and the fireplace hearth that Bill laid by hand for Hillary’s birthday is still in place. A timeline of both Clintons’ early lives displays history many visitors may be unaware of. Even before becoming husband and wife, the two walked parallel political paths, engaging in state and national issues.

Memorabilia from Bill Clinton’s early career is on display throughout the home, including some of his early speeches and television ads from his 1974 and 1976 campaigns.

Outside, an English cottage garden created after the Clintons left the White House was designed to match the architecture of the home. This place of serenity, known as the First Ladies Garden, displays the favorite plants of every first lady of the United States along with a short biography on each of the women. The favorite plantings are meant to display different seasons of beauty, and they include cherry and dogwood trees, knockout roses, hydrangeas and a long list of other favorites of America’s first ladies.

This home, inside and out, tells a piece of Arkansas and American history. The Clintons are a dynamic couple who could become the first husband-and-wife team to each serve as president; the Clinton House Museum is a standing testament to where it all began.
