Hoover Creek meanders through the National Historic Site.

The tributary of the West Branch of Wapsinonoc Creek runs through the National Historic Site. Hoover Creek provides a part of the commemorative setting of the National Historic Site. It offers a serene place to contemplate how family and community values influenced a life of great achievements: a young boy, living, learning, playing, and exploring his small town, started on his way to becoming the 31st President of the United States.
