Jesse Edwards, the founder of Newberg, OR, constructed this dwelling in 1881; Henry John Minthorn, a Quaker physician and educator bought it in 1884. The Minthorn Family consisted of Henry, his wife, Laura, three daughters, one son, and a nephew, the future President of the U.S., Herbert Hoover.

The Hoover-Minthorn House was restored in 1955 and became a house museum depicting life in the Willamette Valley during Hoover's youth in the 1880s. The National Society of the Colonial Dames of America furnished the interior of the house museum and maintain the house presently.
