Fredericksburg, Texas, was the boyhood home of Fleet Admiral Chester W. Nimitz. Nimitz served as commander in chief, United States Pacific Fleet and later named commander in chief, Pacific Ocean Areas, during World War II. So it is fitting that the city hosts the National Museum of the Pacific War, which provides the nation’s most comprehensive account of World War II in the Asiatic-Pacific theater. The campus offers a history of the war as well as a vast collection of artifacts and personal stories of people who lived and died during the Pacific War.
