How can I get historical weather data for the United States? I went to the web site of the National Weather Service and clicked around but it was fruitless. How can I get historical weather data in the US?

I want to get daily high and low and precipitation for a particular weather station for time periods such as 1930 to 1940.
This the portal for the NOAA historical records
