Hoover Library & Museum

019
   While the library and museum are inside the Herbert Hoover NHS they are not under the same administration so there’s an admission fee which is why I’m posting them separately. The museum covers Hoover’s childhood, his career as a mining engineer, the years that he served as Secretary of Commerce and how it all affected the decisions that he made as President after the stock market crash of 1929 which led to the Great Depression.

  The museum is accessible but some of the exhibit cases are located too high for a good view from a wheelchair.

  RV parking is located across from the Herbert Hoover NHS visitor center. The walk/roll to the library is fairly short with good sidewalks and curb cuts. Car parking and a drop off point are located at the library.  Library
