Over 125,000 visitors come annually.  The new exhibit cost $500,000 and has several components including the relief effort at the Savoy Hotel, the Trench which is an immersible experience.  Herbert Hoover was not paid for any of his efforts and he loaned out over a million dollars of his own money of which most was paid back.
