Geocache Description:

Welcome to the National Museum of the Pacific War and the Admiral Nimitz Museum!


One of the most respected leaders of the Pacific campaign of World War II was Chester Nimitz, who was born in Fredericksburg, Texas. The Admiral Nimitz Museum is located in the historic Nimitz Hotel on Main Street in downtown Fredericksburg, and is the natural link to the National Museum of the Pacific War next door. The National Museum of the Pacific War is the only institution in the continental United States dedicated exclusively to telling the story of the Pacific Theater battles of World War II. Located on a six-acre site, the Museum includes the George Bush Gallery, Admiral Nimitz Museum, Plaza of Presidents, Veterans' Walk of Honor, Japanese Garden of Peace, Pacific Combat Zone, and the Center for Pacific War Studies.

Originally named The Admiral Nimitz Museum and housed solely in the historic Nimitz Hotel, the Museum has grown into a dynamic, first-class experience that can be enjoyed by people of all ages and from all backgrounds. In addition to nearly 34,000 square feet of indoor exhibit space, the museum boasts an impressive display of Allied and Japanese aircraft, tanks, guns and other large artifacts made famous during the Pacific War campaigns. An additional 40,000-foot expansion is planned for the Museum's future.

This quick multi-cache is located in the plaza areas between the Nimitz Museum and the National Museum of the Pacific War. There is no fee to enter these public areas, but you’re welcome to tour the museum at your leisure while you’re in town. It’s a real source of pride for the people of Fredericksburg.
