    So cool to see the homes of former Presidents. Don’t know if you’re going to Little Rock but there is the Clinton Library there. Cool bonus train depot!

      Yep, went through Little Rock right before this.

    Hoping to get to Hope someday to see Clinton's home! Love visiting the national parks sites.
    You beat me to that Amtrak station! Thanks for the shout out my friend! That was one PPRRRIMMMMEEE location!😊

    Hope, Arkansas has given this country so much. Too much, some would say. Thanks for the tour!

      Lol... yeah probably a lot of differing opinions on this stop.

    You captured a lot of 'hope' in this video, Tolle!

    I'm sure Dan and Tori will make it there someday. "Hope" so anyway! We enjoyed the tour.

    That looks like a really nice house, bummer you couldn't get in. The train depot looks very cool, nice find!

      Yeah, I was there a little early so maybe they had tours later in the day.

    I always knew that if you kept looking, you'd find Hope.😂 I love Presidential homes and anything to do with the NPS. Totally on our bucket list!!! I loved the bonus train depot too!

      The downtown was actually pretty darn cool here. I didn’t plan on stopping there but the mural caught my attention and then I saw the depot. The boyhood home was in a super residential neighborhood and even though there was a big sign in front of it I kind of felt like I was filming someone’s front yard so I kept it super brief.

    We went to Hope for a quick weekend once for a Garrison Keiler show. My husband is a huge fan. We didn’t get a chance to look around much. You found a lot of interesting things with the Depot Museum and all things Bill Clinton 😂.

      I’ve been to a lot of different Presidents homes and birthplaces over the years so figured since I was right there I’d check a couple of spots out.

    Feeling old right now. Because growing up we would go to Ronald Regan’s childhood home. Now kids learn about Clinton and his escapades. Pretty spacious in there, doesn’t look as big inside. Where’s all the people here?

      I need to get to Reagan’s house up your way! I was there early so maybe a few people later in the day? Or maybe if Billy had a little lemonade stand out front.

    Hey Tolle, Bill's family moved up the road to Hot Springs and lived there from 1954-1961. Bill got to experience the site of the largest illegal gambling operation in the U.S. before the federal government and probably Gov Rockefeller cleaned up the corruption. ;>}

      I’m not real up-to-date on what his father did. Seems like he was at least middle class or above. I can only imagine Bill probably has some colorful stories from Hot Springs that he probably would never share.

      @@TheTolleRoad Hey Tolle, you got me interested, so I looked up Bill’s biological father, William Jefferson Blythe Jr.. He died 3 months before Bill was born, but had been married five times and had at least nine children which must have been unknown by future wives. Bill’s step-father was Roger Clinton who was described by Bill Clinton as "a handsome, hell-raising, twice-divorced man from Hot Springs.

      I had no idea his dad died that soon after he was born. Guess he was lucky a handsome hell raising man came along to raise him 😂

    Do you still believe in Hope? Relatively new national Park can't recall if when I was in Little Rock whether that was designated as a national Park yet

    • @TheTolleRoad
      @TheTolleRoad  6 месяцев назад +1

      Not sure when it got an NPS designation. I can only assume that your house will one day by an NPS site.
