Just off the Interstate and thus a welcome break from the long drive back from Cedar Rapids IA to Chicago O’Hare airport, I briefly explored Herbert Hoover’s birth place, today a very well taken care of National Park site (https://www.nps.gov/heho/index.htm). Who would suspect such a presidential history at a place called West Branch, Iowa?!
