Nestled deep in a hollow at the headwaters of the Rapidan River is a little piece of history: Rapidan Camp. This National Historic Landmark was the beautiful, rustic getaway of President Herbert Hoover and First Lady Lou Henry Hoover during their time in the White House. This restful spot provided the couple respite and rejuvenation throughout a tumultuous presidency and was the backdrop for historic meetings during one of our nation's most difficult times: the Great Depression. A visit to the exhibits at Rapidan Camp will reveal a different perspective of the First Couple and provide you with the same respite and rejuvenation prompted by the beauty and serenity of this special place.
