Presidential birthplace historic sites
The birthplaces of many U.S. presidents have been preserved in some way or another, from the grand monuments, to replicas, or simple roadside markers. The first presidents not to be born "at home" were George W. Bush and Bill Clinton. Bush was born July 6, 1946, at Grace-New Haven Hospital (now Yale–New Haven Hospital) in New Haven, Connecticut.[1] Clinton was born August 19, 1946 at Julia Chester Hospital in Hope, Arkansas. The house in which he spent the first four years of his life (with his grandparents, Edith Grisham and James Eldridge Cassidy, after his mother, Virginia, went away to work in New Orleans, Louisiana[2]) is preserved as a National Historic Landmark.
