About Us
The Herbert Hoover Presidential Library Association is a nonprofit support group for the Herbert Hoover Presidential Library-Museum and National Historic Site in West Branch, IA, just east of Iowa City. Starting as the Hoover Birthplace Society in 1939, the Association is a membership organization which sponsors events during the year, including Hooverfest, the annual August celebration of the birth of Herbert Hoover, Iowa's only president. Other events include various weekends throughout the summer with 1880's games, crafters, and costumed interpreters.
The Herbert Hoover Presidential Library Association offices are housed in a 1903-home on the Herbert Hoover National Historic Site in West Branch, Iowa, 50 miles west of the Mississippi River, one-half mile north of Interstate 80 at exit 254.
The Herbert Hoover Presidential Library-Museum is located across the driveway. President Hoover's birthplace and other historic structures are nearby.
President and Mrs. Hoover are buried on a quiet knoll overlooking his tiny birthplace.
