A few quick facts: The Herbert Hoover National Historic Site is preserved by the National Park Service to commemorate the life of the 31st President of the United States. Visitors can see the small cottage where Hoover was born in 1874, a blacksmith shop similar to the one owned by his father, the first West Branch schoolhouse, and the Friends Meetinghouse where the Hoover family worshipped. Also located on the grounds are the Herbert Hoover Presidential Library-Museum, the gravesites of President and Mrs. Hoover, and a 81-acre tallgrass prairie.
