Located in southwest Arkansas just 30 miles from its border with Texas, Hope is a charming small town that’s best known as the birthplace of President Bill Clinton. Packed into a total area of just over 10 square miles, Hope has a humming city center that houses Mexican restaurants, soul food spots, and prime antique stores.
