Herbert Hoover National Historic Site



Herbert Hoover National Historic Site is located in West Branch, Iowa, where Hoover lived until he was eleven.   He was born in a simple two-room cottage, and was the son of Quakers.

The Herbert Hoover National Historic Site has a walking tour which illustrates several periods of his life.   His birthplace cottage, a blacksmith shop, a one-room Quaker Schoolhouse, a Friends Meetinghouse, his gravesite, and the Presidential Library and Museum are all located on the grounds.

Gram and Pops visited here in September 2012.
