I did a couple of Google searches and found incomplete references to a Frank Herbert Museum in Tacoma, WA. Here's one, you have to scroll down for the comments:

"And don’t miss the Frank Herbert-Museum. Good old Franky was a science-fiction author in the 20th century, known mostly by his epic Dune-Trilogy, and one of the famous sons of Tacoma."

Does anyone have any more information about this?

Yes he did. I'll do some looking around, as I work and live near there
now. I'll post what I find.

While searching around, I came across this very interesting article:
http://postdefiance.com/son-of-tacoma-father-of-dune/ and this very
nice exhibit at Paul Allen's EMP:

I hadn't realized until today that Fank and my Dad were the same age.
