Welcome to Herbert Hoover National Historic Site, one of over 400 national parks in the United States. President Lyndon B. Johnson signed the law establishing it on August 12, 1965, the year following Herbert Hoover's death. In his remarks, President Johnson said, "The visitors to this historic site will sense the essence of this land of opportunity. For out of those humble origins, this young man found his way to greatness in this land-and, yes, greatness in this world."
