The Hoover Historical Center
In the 1970s, the company opened The Hoover Historical Center in North Canton, Ohio. It is a museum dedicated to the history of the Hoover company. As you begin your tour at the Historical Center, you will learn facts about the Hoover family and view displays of non-electric vacuum cleaners leading up to the Spangler prototype, which would become the first Hoover cleaner. As you proceed, you learn about the early formation of the Hoover company; view samples of Hoover cleaners spanning from the 1907/1908 Model O to present; and observe examples of Hoover's extensive advertising campaigns throughout the years. The center also includes a gift shop where you can buy Hoover memorabilia at the end of the tour.

Famous quotes containing the words hoover, historical and/or center:
“As a nation we must prevent hunger and cold to those of our people who are in honest difficulties.”
—Herbert Hoover (1874–1964)
“The analogy between the mind and a computer fails for many reasons. The brain is constructed by principles that assure diversity and degeneracy. Unlike a computer, it has no replicative memory. It is historical and value driven. It forms categories by internal criteria and by constraints acting at many scales, not by means of a syntactically constructed program. The world with which the brain interacts is not unequivocally made up of classical categories.”
—Gerald M. Edelman (b. 1928)
“Columbus stood in his age as the pioneer of progress and enlightenment. The system of universal education is in our age the most prominent and salutary feature of the spirit of enlightenment, and it is peculiarly appropriate that the schools be made by the people the center of the day’s demonstration. Let the national flag float over every schoolhouse in the country and the exercises be such as shall impress upon our youth the patriotic duties of American citizenship.”
—Benjamin Harrison (1833–1901)
