FYI: In 1885, a young man at the age of 9 years old came to Newberg to live with his aunt and uncle, the Minthorns. The young man remained in Newberg and made it his boyhood home. That young man’s name was Herbert Hoover, who later would become the 31st president of the United States. This historic home still stands and you can visit it on 115 South River Street on the north side of downtown. You can also visit Herbert Hoover Park right across the street and play Disc golf!
