Larry recommended a couple of places to stop on the way from Texas to Holly Springs. This was the second one and it really needed a 2-3 hour stop to tour the small 1860's town that was the Arkansas capital of the Confederates for a short time.
The main building contained lots of documents and exhibits that highlighted the life in the mid 1800 in this area of Arkansas (Southwest corner)
We then headed for Hope AR and Bill Clinton's birthhome. His dad died in a car wreck before he was born. Mom and Dad would have really enjoyed the tour of the train depot with it's detailed history of Bill, Hillary and Chelsea's life. Bill definitely did not grow up with a silver spoon in his mouth!! His grandmother was intramental in making education a very positive experience.
Forgot to put this one in first. It is the postoffice in Texarkana and Carol is straddling the TX and AR border.
