Children can earn a Junior Ranger certificate and badge by participating in a tour of the Birthplace Home, interview a park ranger, and complete the Junior Ranger Activity Booklet.

President William Jefferson Clinton Birthplace Home became the 394th unit of the National Park Service. The National Park Service protects and preserves President Clinton’s home and tells the story of his early life here in Hope. What better way to celebrate Presidents’ Day than visiting a former President of the United States birthplace home and becoming a Junior Ranger?

park stories and pictures. For more information, please visit www.nps.gov/webrangers.
