The Bill Clinton Birthplace is located at 117 South Hervey Street (U.S. Route 278) in Hope, Arkansas.cite web|url=http://www.clintonbirthplace.org/index.html|title=Clinton Birthplace|date=2008-04-23|work=The Clinton Birthplace Foundation|Clinton Birthplace Foundation, Inc.] Built in 1917 by Dr. H. S. Garrett, in this house the 42nd President of the United States, Bill Clinton spent the first four years of his life, having been born at Julia Chester Hospital in Hope on August 19, 1946. The house was owned by his grandparents, Edith Grisham and James Eldridge Cassidy, and they cared for him when his mother, Virginia, was away working as an anesthetist in New Orleans. (Maraniss 1995)

On May 19, 1994, the property was listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Senate Bill 245 (introduced by Mark Pryor on January 10, 2007) proposes to designate the property as "William Jefferson Clinton Birthplace Home National Historic Site."cite web|url=http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/D?r110:2:./temp/~r110qBQ6iq::|title=Introduction of Bills and Joint Resolutions -- (Senate - January 10, 2007)|date=2008-04-24|work=Congressional Record|THOMAS] If the bill becomes law, the Secretary of Interior would be authorized to accept the property if donated by the Clinton Birthplace Foundation, which currently offers tours of the property. The site would then become a unit of the National Park System.
