The National Museum of the Pacific War in Fredericksburg was first established in 1967 as the Chester W. Nimitz Museum. Over the years, it has been expanded and upgraded to better tell the story of the 8 million Americans who served against Japan during World War II.

The museum now covers a 6-acre complex and contains exhibits such as the George H.W. Bush Gallery, the Memorial Courtyard, and the Japanese Garden of Peace. The Pacific Combat Zone is a one-of-a-kind indoor and outdoor display of weaponry and vehicles. The museum sits in the charming town of Fredericksburg.
