The Hoover-Minthorn House
Museum was the boyhood home of Herbert Hoover,
31st President of the United States, in Newberg, Oregon,
from 1885-1888.
It is preserved as a memorial of
Herbert Hoover's boyhood and also in honor of the Dr.
Henry John Minthorn family and physicians in rural 19th
century America.
It
also illustrates a typical pioneer Quaker home in
the Newberg community. Restored to its original
condition, it contains original furnishings,
as well as memorabilia belonging to President
Hoover, the Minthorn family and members of the local
community. (photo Courtesy of The
