In conjunction with the 10th anniversary of the Clinton Library opening, many people are visiting the Old State House Museum. It was at this location he announced his bid in 1991. In the same spot (but with many more people) he delivered his acceptance speech on Election Night in 1992. Four years later, he again delivered his acceptance speech in 1996.
Current exhibits at the Old State House Museum include Pillars of Power; On the Stump: AR Politics. 1819-1919; Legislative Chambers and First Families of Arkansas. In addition the museum features “Different Spokes” and “Lights! Camera! Arkansas!”
The Old State House Museum is free. It is open from 9-5 Monday through Saturday and 1-5 on Sunday.
The Old State House Museum is an agency of the Department of Arkansas Heritage.
In conjunction with the 10th anniversary of the opening of the Clinton Library, the Esse Purse Museum has a special exhibit.
This temporary exhibit features handbags given to Hillary Clinton while she served as First Lady of the United States.

The museum is open from 10am to 4pm Tuesday through Sunday. It runs through November 30.

Tonight at 7pm, the documentary THE HUNTING OF THE PRESIDENT will be shown at the Ron Robinson Theater. The screening is free.
Well-known director, producer and Arkansan Harry Thomason, and Nickolas Perry’s incendiary documentary, based on the best-selling book by Gene Lyons and Joe Conason, offers a glimpse at the genesis of these partisan vendettas and explores the myths and truths behind the nearly ten year campaign to systematically destroy the political legacy of the Clintons.
Using previously unreleased materials, interviews, and revelations from both sides of the beltway, this probing work focuses on the smear campaign against Clinton from his gubernatorial days in Arkansas leading up to and including his impeachment trial.
Less of an advocacy film and more of an treatise on the political power of the media and personal interests, The Hunting of the President offers a gallery of defeated politicians, disappointed office seekers, right-wing pamphleteers, wealthy eccentrics, zany private detectives, religious fanatics and die-hard segregationists, all chiming in discord from the tops of their soapboxes
The film is narrated by Morgan Freeman. Others making appearances include Jonathan Alter, Steve Barnes, Paul Begala, Richard Ben-Veniste, Robert S. Bennett, Sidney Blumenthal, Max Brantley, David Brock, Joe Cammerata, John Camp, James Carville, Larry Case, Paula Casey, Joe Conason, Andrew Cooper, Gil Davis, Ernie Dumas, Jerry Falwell, Mike Gauldin, Howard Kurtz, Gene Lyons, Susan McDougal, Don Moldea, Robert Parry, Claudia Riley, Jeffrey Toobin, Bill Watt and Betsy Wright.
