Admiral Nimitz National Museum of the Pacific War




Not to be missed if you visit Fredericksburg, Texas is the Pacific War Museum. Located on main street, the museum is shaped like a ship. It has extensive artifacts from the WW2 pacific theatre. Fredericksburg is Admiral Nimitz hometown. An exhibit in the museum is dedicated to President George H.W. Bush who was a Navy pilot shot down during the war. There is film showing him being rescued from a raft after his near miss. What a treasure to have recorded for posterity.
