Tule Lake NM
The Tule Lake War Relocation Center was one of ten concentration camps constructed in 1942 by the United States government to incarcerate Japanese Americans forcibly removed from their homes on the West Coast. It was used as a maximum security, segregation camp to separate and hold those prisoners considered disloyal or disruptive to the operations of other camps. Inmates from other camps were also brought to Tule Lake for disciplinary reasons. As a result, it became known as the "troublemaker" camp. The living conditions at Tule Lake were deplorable, and the inmates were subject to slurs and mistreatment from both guards and fellow prisoners. The camp remained in operation until 1945, when it was finally shut down by the government. The lasting effects of this dark chapter in American history are commemorated at the site.

President Clinton Birthplace Home
This National Historic Site commemorates the life and legacy of the 42nd President of the US. When Bill Clinton was born in 1946, his father had already passed away. He was named after his father, William Jefferson Blythe III, and from a young age he was raised in rural Arkansas by his mother and grandparents. These experiences shaped Clinton's views on race relations, social justice, and public service - views that would later define his presidency. He lived in Hope, Arkansas with his mother and grandparents until he was four years old. It was during this time that he developed a deep attachment to the town, and its people have remained an important part of his life ever since. In fact, when asked where he gets his hope from, Clinton famously replied: "Hope is home." Today, Hope is a thriving community that continues to be shaped by Clinton's ideals.
