Herbert Hoover National Historic Site

Iowa Home | Iowa Sitemap
One of two Iowa sites recognized by the National Parks Service, this 190-acre site is dedicated to the strangely unique legacy of our nation’s 31st president. Tours of the grounds are available and popular in the summer, giving visitors a glimpse at Hoover’s family life and upbringing.

The beautiful, sweeping 81-acre plain encapsulated by the park’s borders is a fitting summary of life in this region of the country, specifically Iowa. Accented by a small home and blacksmith shop, the solitude and calm of the Midwest is appropriately eminent.
