Bill Clinton presidential library

Be sure to apply hand sanitizer upon exit.

Dollywood is quite a distance. You could go Graceland for some good kitsch.

Reagan's really reminded you how little he really accomplished and what a horrible movie career Nancy had. I know they've redone the NIxon, but I hope they kept the Checkers speech on continuous loop. The "Republican cloth coat" is pure unintentional comic gold.

Dollywood is nowhere near Arkansas, it is around a nine hour drive. Its sister park Silver Dollar City in the Ozarks is, however, only 3.5 hours away. You could always go to Memphis or New Orleans.

Arkansas is a pretty state but Little Rock you can see in a day and that’s being generous. When I was in Little Rock I went to the Clinton library late in the afternoon but it was closing in an hour and they wanted $10 entrance fee. Not worth it for me. It’s on the bank of the Arkansas river and architecturally interesting. If you really want to visit the library I would stay in Hot Springs which is about an hour west of Little Rock. It’s in a pretty area and has some interesting old buildings. I visited the states surrounding Texas when I lived in Dallas. If you like outdoor stuff Arkansas is great. If you’re only going to see the Clinton library see if Southwest Airlines has a flight that arrives in Little Rock on Friday evening and leaves Sunday afternoon.

I imagine a Clinton library would have old girlie magazines, sex manuals and cigar butts on display.

I stopped at the Eisenhower library in Abilene, KS on a cross country trip. Fascinating display about his role un the construction on the interstate highway system that I hadn't known about.

Also stopped at the International Greyhound museum right across the street. I learned that Greyhounds are really couch potatoes.

It was a very informative stop we hadn't planned to take until we say the signs on the highway.

OP, if you haven't been you should go to the Johnson library in Austin, TX. It is really interesting.

I was disappointed in the Kennedy Library in Boston.

It’s been many years now, R7, but I, too, was disappointed by the JFK Library.

If you do go, see if you can catch a glimpse of the penthouse. It's where Bill stays when he is in town, alone, if you catch my drift. Jeffrey Epstein used to stay there when he visited Bill.

“We were on the terrace of his apartment,” recalled the 20-something intern at the William J. Clinton Presidential Library and Museum who was massaging Bill’s feet. “We had a meal served from 42 [the restaurant in the Little Rock library] — ­vegan stuff like kale salad.

“He often invites girls like me who work at the library to his apartment for a glass of red wine and a massage,” the intern said in an interview for this book. “He likes his neck and shoulders massaged because he gets knots in his muscles. But what he really likes is to have his feet massaged. He just kicks off his loafers and socks and puts his feet on the coffee table. That really makes him happy.

“Bill is always flirting with the women at the library. He knows everybody by their first name and is incredibly kind and generous. When he talks to you, it’s like you are the only person in the world. I always called him Mr. President, naturally, but one day he looked at me with this horny look and said, ‘Call me Bill.’ I sort of knew then that I was in.

“I know what people would say if they knew I gave him a foot massage. But, hey, if it makes him happy, I’m happy to do it. The idea of touching the feet of the President."

“He loves being surrounded by pretty girls. The place is completely secure, so he knows there’s no chance any photographers can get in.

“I was there at one of his parties on a hot, steamy day. He served champagne and cold beer and handed out roses, which he grows on the terrace and which are named after his mother, Virginia Kelley. At one point, he got out a hose and sprayed some of the girls.

“‘Keep that up,’ I told him, ‘and you’re going to have the first wet T-shirt contest ever held at a presidential library.’”

The blue dress with the cum stains prominently on display in a display case at the library entrance?

R12 Bill stops by regularly to refresh the display cases.

Another here who was disappointed in the Kennedy Library. Grand siting but no there inside.

My understanding is that Caroline maintains tight control over the library, and refuses to allow any exhibits that might blemish JFKs legacy even slightly, or show him in anyway that does not envelope him in an aura of beatification.

We went to Memphis and stayed. We saw Graceland, Sun Studios, and The Civil Rights Museum, then took a day to drive to Little Rock to see the library and Central High School (and adjacent museum.) Didn't even need to stay the night, so drove back to Memphis to see the ducks at the Peabody Hotel and spend an evening on Beale Street. Then spent a day driving to Oxford, Mississippi to see Ole Miss and Rowan Oak, then swung by Elvis's childhood house in Tupelo. I wouldn't make a trip of just Little Rock.

In Arkansas, the best thing you can do is go on a tour of Sarah Huckabee Sanders' favorite all-you-can-eat places.

Is the blue dress on display there?

Actually, it's time to stop building these monuments to presidential egos. Presidential egos are big enough already. A central consolidated presidential archive and museum ought to be enough.

Philadelphia would make a great place for it.

Being Arkansas, one thing is for sure - no books have been touched.

Good book by a really good and entertaining author of journalism, so mainly articles, but good book, that was made in a famous Mike Nichols movie with John Travolta. Helps understand Little Rock better and there were actually many famous and important people from the last couple decades from this small, rural place of Little Rock. Don't like that it just is offered by amazon itself in the Kindle version. You can find a lot of modern history, economy, academics, law, arts, civil rights, Southern Poverty Law Center,Third Way, entertainment, Poe, rural dreameries and small town boy with big city attitude by touring Little Rock; certainly better than touring Sex and the City New York.

R20 just like no one has touched your dick for 60 years.

R21 The great barbecue scene in that movie was loaded with Arkansas atmosphere.

R22 - I’m sorry that you’re from Arkansas. DL condoles you.

I will definitely be going to Obama's library when it opens in Chicago.

R25, it's on the South Side, isn't it? Wear your body armor.

I completely agree. Hot Springs is lovely.
