President Hoover’s Retreat - Photo 6

First Lady Lou Henry Hoover’s Bedroom at Camp Rapidan in the mountains of Virginia. The first lady made sure her advice to guests was prominently displayed in all the cottages: “After all blankets and eiders are exhausted, put on your camel’s hair dressing gown, wrap your head in a sweater, and throw your fur coat over everything!”
