Visiting the Herbert Hoover National Historic Site

Herber Hoover, thirty-first president of the United States of America, was also the first President to be born west of the Mississippi River. Today, the Herbert Hoover National Historic Site in West Branch, Iowa, is a handsome site that includes his birthplace, presidential library, and final resting place. The setting has been very well preserved and truly is quite attractive. While we were there, we saw several people in period appropriate attire. When we asked, they explained that this was one of several living history days at the site. While we didn't get to stay long, it was apparent why this would be one of the 100 Places to Visit in Iowa.
