Visit the Clinton House Museum, where Bill and Hillary Clinton first lived together and got married, including a replica of Hillary’s wedding dress.

In Fayatteville, Arkansas, you can step inside the first home of Bill and Hillary Clinton, where they lived and wed when they taught at the University of Arkansas’ Law School in the 1970’s. The Clinton House Museum contains memorabilia from the Clintons’ rise to power and intimate artifacts from their life together. It’s not only the home where Bill and Hillary Clinton first lived together. It holds many memories. The two got married in the living room, and as I learned from local Jesse Leonard, who led me on my tour, Hillary Clinton was really fond of this home. Watch the above video and check out the photos from this insider’s tour.
