Herbert Hoover National Historic Site

The 31st President of the United States was Herbert Hoover. The Herbert Hoover National Historic Site was created near his birthplace of West Branch, Ohio, in 1965, one year after his passing, to honor his life. It is considered one of the Best Day Trips from Iowa. To give visitors an idea of his modest beginnings, the National Historic Landmark recreates his early neighborhood.

The 28-acre Herbert Hoover National Historic Site includes a number of rebuilt structures. The site's original building was his birthplace cottage; it is currently home to replicas of his father's blacksmith shop, a schoolhouse, and a meeting house. During a tour of the location, visitors are allowed to enter each of the structures.

The Herbert Hoover Presidential Library and Museum is one of the most recent additions to the location. It includes a variety of records, materials, and artifacts gathered throughout the course of his life and presidency. The memorial slabs are accessible to the public, and Herbert Hoover and his wife are interred there.
