We had some time to be tourists so we stopped in the National Museum of the Pacific War in Fredericksburg, TX. We though just a couple of hours. We should have planned two days. Why would a major museum on the Pacific War be in Fredericksburg, TX? Because Admiral Nimitz, a major player in the War in the Pacific was born in Fredericksburg. We respected the requests for no flash photography inside so what we have here is just a sampling of why is outside the four buildings that makeup the Museum. There were a few WWII aircraft and the only restored PT boat from the Pacific Campaign. |
