Today we took a walk across the Clinton Presidential Park Bridge ( was once a railroad bridge) adjacent to the CG that took us to the Presidential Library.
The library didn’t open until 1 pm so we took a walk around the park. There were lots of people outdoors taking advantage of the beautiful day.
The library looks like something out of a Sci-Fi movie – a very modern shiny building with sharp lines and edges. The presentation of President Clinton’s tenure is very well done and addresses all of the positives as well as negatives during his time as president. . I always liked him as president, just didn’t agree with his personal choices in his private life. Despite his shortcomings in that area and a failed impeachment attempt by congress he was well respected in world politics and did improve the overall well-being of our country and foreign relations while in office.

One of the two Chihuly Christmas trees commissioned for the White House during the Clinton administration. This one was donated to the library and stands about 7 feet tall.
After completing our tour of the library we took the one mile walk through town to the old State House Museum that gained world-wide recognition when it was used as the setting for President Bill Clinton’s election night celebrations in 1992 and 1996.
It was nice to see that this old building has been maintained and is being used for different displays and concerts.
On the way back to the CG we stopped for “World Famous” fried chicken at Gus’s.
The chicken was very good and very spicy!
Did I mention there were a lot of stairs to climb!
There was no end to the stairs!
In the Presidential Library there was a Snoopy exhibit – so of course Ron had to get a picture. .
We had a very nice day and were happy to be back at the CG enjoying our time on the Arkansas river watching the sunset.
