Little Rock, AR


Little Rock, AR had two sites that we visited. The River Market District that consists of a beautiful park and many shops and restaurants in this redeveloped former decaying industrial area.



The other attraction is the Clinton Presidential Center and Park.

The building that houses the museum/library is very modern and simple and is right across the Arkansas River from our campground. It is described as “a modern architectural masterwork that evokes, by some accounts, both a $165 million double-wide and a Star Wars battle cruiser hovering in flight”.


Below are several pictures of the center that have a 100-foot time line (1993-2001) and exhibits of the early years, life in the White House, and even a life-size replica of the infamous Oval Office! There were short movie blips and pictures of many different areas of his public life and what happened while he held office.



Here is a caricature of Bill and his saxophone.

This is one of the twelve presidential Libraries. The others are Hoover, Roosevelt, Truman, Eisenhower, Kennedy, Johnson, Nixon, Ford, Carter, Reagan, and Bush.
