Visit the Clinton House Museum in Fayetteville, Arkansas

At first glance, it might be hard to tell what an important place this small, unassuming house holds in history. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the home looks much like the others in the neighborhood and consists of only one bedroom and 1,800 square feet. However, during the 1970's, it was home for two people who would shape the future of the country and the world.

Bill Clinton and Hillary Rodham were married in the living room. It was the first home they shared and the only place they lived together before entering the public eye. The future U.S. president and future secretary of state would leave this house in 1976, only to move to the White House 17 years later. See for yourself the house that served as the backdrop for that October day in 1975. Through photographs, historical documents and videos, you'll learn about a part of the Clintons' life that many have never discovered. A time that isn't about being president, but about being a future president.

Witness rarely seen memorabilia of Clinton's early political career, including his campaigns for U.S. House of Representatives and Attorney General.

Study some of Clinton's earliest political speeches, showcasing his unique style that would eventually be discovered by millions around the globe.

View a faithful replica of Hillary's wedding dress, just like the one she wore when they were married in the living room.

Follow a timeline to put their Fayetteville years in perspective.
