Hoover-Minthorn House Museum

The Hoover-​Minthorn House Museum was made out of the house that Herbert Hoover lived in for 3 years in his youth — from 1885 to 1888. Hoover lived with the Minthorns after his parents passed away.
Access to the museum was $ 3 /​adult — cash only. There was plenty of street parking around the building. Hours are pretty limited, so make sure to check the website before you visit.
I was really impressed with this museum. The curator gave us a tour, and she was very excited to share the history of the house. The details she provided really brought the visit to life, and made it a great experience rather than just a good one. She shared details such as how they’ve had people come in to inspect the appropriateness of the furniture and such for the time period, and they are pretty rigorous about only keeping things on display that would have been used at the time. They even had some original furniture that they highlighted in the tour.
The house was in really good condition, and the displays were great. I learned a lot of things about our 31^st president that I hadn’t known previously; not only did they talk through his history as a child while he lived in the house, but they provided information on his entire life and put it all in a historical context.
Overall, this museum is worth a visit, especially considering how inexpensive the entry fee is.
