Hoover-Minthorn House
The
Hoover-Minthorn House is a museum created from the house
Herbert Hoover, thirty-first President of the
United States lived in from
1885 to
1891, with his uncle and aunt John and Laura Minthorn. The Minthorns were administrators of the
Quaker middle school Friends Pacific Academy, now George Fox University, where Hoover and his brother Tad attended.
The house, an Italianate design built in 1881, was restored and opened to the public in 1955. It is located on 115 South River Street, Newberg, Oregon.
