Fayetteville`s advertising and
promotion commission wants to buy the home where Bill and Hillary
Clinton were married.
The Clintons lived in the house at 930 California Boulevard from
August 1973 to December 1976 and were married there in 1975.
The commission approved a thousand dollars for an appraisal and
structural engineering estimate of the home, which should take
three weeks.
Fayetteville Convention and Visitors Bureau Manager Allyson
Twiggs said the house will be a "tourism product."
She said she wanted to "tap into the boon that Little
Rock has gotten with the new library."
She said the home could serve as a museum of the Clintons` time
in Fayetteville using memorabilia and photographs to catalog their
experience. She said it could also be rented for weddings to carry
on the Clintons` tradition.
