Herbert Hoover spent summers at Rapidan Camp, a rustic retreat he built in the Shenandoah National Forest in Virginia. The camp had 12 log cabins and was a rustic escape from Washington where Hoover could fish, hike and relax. Though the camp was demolished in the 1930s, its location is now a national historic site that commemorates Hoover's presidency and his love of the outdoors.
