Third Thursday at Hoover's

"A Hoover Homecoming Photo Album, August 1928."
This presentation highlights the "homecoming" visit that Mr. and Mrs. Hoover and their two sons made to Iowa during the summer of 1928 after his nomination as the Republican nominee for the presidency. Although there was no official album, Juhl has arranged these seldom-seen photographs to represent what could have been a family album.
