Hoover Presidential Foundation

More than keepers of objects, Herbert Hoover Presidential Library and Museum (HHPLM) shares the story of Herbert and Lou Henry’s global legacy, which is just as powerful as those built by the most recognized presidential families. The Hoovers’ principles of integrity, hard work, simplicity, and generosity guided them throughout their lives of service to the nation and the world. The pair were change- makers driven by values that transcend politics—in fact, much of their influential work was achieved in the years before and after the presidency.

Believing that every individual should have the opportunity to rise to the level of their talents and ambitions, Herbert and Lou Henry earnestly worked on behalf of others. Among their achievements of incomparable magnitude was food relief for millions of starving people across the globe during and after the two world wars.

The Herbert Hoover Presidential Library and Museum has been closed for a major renovation since January 2025 and is expected to reopen in Summer 2026.  Shelly will provide an update of what is being done.
