Finally, here’s a final post from my archives back when I visited the Clinton Presidential Library in Little Rock shortly before I moved to Georgia.

Clinton Presidential Library, Little Rock, Arkansas

Last Friday, I headed over to Little Rock one last time to visit the Clinton Presidential Library. The main reason for visiting it was that I’m as close to it as I’m ever going to get, and I might as well have paid it a visit.
Overall, the Clinton Library was interesting to visit. It felt more like a Bill Clinton museum than an actual library. I enjoyed it though. I didn’t read through each artifact there since that would have taken me too long, but I did look over the displays, and it was interesting and quite historical. There were plenty of them to see as well.
What was most interesting were the Oval Office and Cabinet Office. I almost wish I could use the Cabinet Office for my conference room! 🙂 The Oval Office was the most spectacular of the displays, although it was quite disappointing that we didn’t get to actually go in it. I know those that knew I was heading over wanted me to get a picture of me in the Oval Office. Oh well, too bad I wasn’t able to. There were also displays of one of the Clinton’s dinner tables they went to, as well as a special display going on with treasures pertaining to various President’s terms in office. That was quite a site to see. There were also some interesting architectural designs to the library itself, including the way the outdoor fountains worked.
Bottom line, it was an interesting trip that was historical and educational, and if you ever happen to be in the Little Rock area, you might as well pay a visit.
