National Museum of the Pacific War

TIME : 2016/2/18 11:23:12

This museum complex consists of three war-centric galleries: the Admiral Nimitz Museum , chronicling the life and career of Fredericksburg's most famous son; the George HW Bush Gallery of the Pacific War , a large, impressive building housing big planes, big boats and big artillery; and the Pacific Combat Zone , a 3-acre site that's been transformed into a South Pacific battle zone.

History buffs can learn about (or refresh their memories on) the battles and campaigns, and kids will be awed by the enormous vehicles. Admission is free for WWII veterans.
