President Herbert Hoover had a "Summer White House" at Rapidan Camp. The Hoovers donated Rapidan Camp to the Commonwealth of Virginia in 1932 for use as a summer retreat for subsequent presidents. In December 1935, it officially became part of Shenandoah National Park. The last president to use Rapidan Camp was President Carter in 1977.
