The Association will foster the collection, interpretation and preservation of historical resources relating to the life, ideas, values and times of Herbert Hoover, thirty-first president of the United States; we will promote public education about and appreciation for Herbert Hoover, support the Hoover Presidential Library-Museum and the National Historic Site at West Branch, Iowa, effectively garner and prudently manage Association resources, and serve Association members.

The Herbert Hoover Presidential Library Association offices are housed in a 1903-home on the Herbert Hoover National Historic Site in West Branch, Iowa, 50 miles west of the Mississippi River, one-half mile north of Interstate 80 at exit 254.

The Herbert Hoover Presidential Library-Museum is located across the driveway. President Hoover's birthplace and other historic structures are nearby.

President and Mrs. Hoover are buried on a quiet knoll overlooking his tiny birthplace.
