Getting Outdoors

One of the historical attractions that you can see while you're here is the blacksmith shop owned and operated by Hoover's father, Jesse. Hoover's parents were Quakers, and their honesty and work ethic helped to shape the man who would become president. Another of the historic buildings is the Friends Meetinghouse, which was, in fact, a chapel of sorts but one that reflected their unusual style of devotion. As you explore the site on foot, you'll come across the House of the Maples area; today, this area contains a single maple tree, but it was once the site of Hoover's second childhood home.

The trip went great! Other than when we first got the van there was an obvious white stain on the blanket. We thankfully brought a blanket with us though so we could stash the dirty one away in the way back. Also figuring out how to plug into the electric at the campsite was strange because there was no other way to do it than to weave it through the open back window. Other than that it was a great trip and everything ran smoothly

The hosts were so incredible!!! Everything was clean and ready. They made sure we were knowledgeable on how to use the RV properly and were very responsive to any questions. Loved our whole trip and will be booking again!!!
