CLINTON HOUSE MUSEUM
MONTHLY REPORT MARCH 2011
The Clinton House Museum had a total of 162 visitors in March 2011. March has brought many
spring break visitors marks the beginning of the House’s “busy season”. Additionally, we are
having more and more local visitors. Our increased presence in print, network, and social
media has been a great success for the House. The House is also featured in this month’s AY
Magazine.
EXHIBITS:
We are in the final states of completing exhibits featuring the former owners of the House –
H.H. “Scotty” Taylor, Gilbert and Bo Swanson, and Dr. Warren Gifford. All items in the house,
both on display and in storage have been inventoried and Accession Records (based on the
American Association of Museum guidelines) have been created for each item. During this
process, we have “uncovered” unique and interesting items. In addition to these “finds,” over
the last few months have acquired many individual collections and donations of Clinton
memorabilia. Displays are also under construction featuring these items.
In the works, are redesigns of a new brochure for the Museum to include the First Ladies
Garden and the visit by President Clinton this past August. The spring will launch fundraising
efforts in the form of another Buy-A-Brick Campaign and Engraved Stone Pavers with quotes
of First Ladies to establishing a rock walkway in the Garden.
The grounds of the House have seen some amazing improvements. The wooden railings on the
front porch have been replaced with decorative iron railings to more reflect the House’s Tudor
Revival architecture of the 1930s. We were also able to mimic this on the edge of the driveway
leading up to and including the lower steps up to the front walkway. In terms of safety, this
was paramount. The west side of the House has also been completely transformed as a part of
our First Ladies Garden Project. It features a holly hedge, three magnolia trees, and rock area
where benches, a center fountain, and potted yellow rose trees will be placed. Daffodils lining
the front rock wall are also in full bloom, in addition to the tulips, hyacinths, and lilies
throughout the property.
