Time for another entry in "My Texas Alphabet". In its second edition, the letter "N" is also for the National Museum of War on the Pacific (in other words, the Nimitz Museum).
We visited the museum on our wedding day, years ago. A weird thing to do on such a day? Not at all. Well, unusual, maybe.

Anyhow, at that time, the outside backyard area was part of the exhibition as well. You could visit the field hospital and, among others, see Japanese tanks in the Pacific Combat Zone area. Tickets were valid for 24 hours so we could watch the vast museum exhibition with no hurry.
Since then, we have come back to the Nimitz Museum many times. Some things have changed there. The reenactment theater was built in the backyard. Walking and sightseeing in that section is no longer possible, and a ticket is only good on the day of your visit.
Besides the permanent exposition, the museum offers many educational programs.
One can learn a lot by attending the Outpost events, Campaign Briefings, taking part in Symposiums, and numerous various other events organized there.

Art lovers can also enjoy temporary art gallery presentations.
Have you ever been to the museum? It is worth visiting for sure.

Fredericksburg - National Museum of War on the Pacific
I have been to the museum - a number of times. It was a favorite of my dad's, and he often took me and my children there when we came to visit my parents in Fredericksburg. When we buried my parents' ashes at St. Mary's about a year ago, my now-adult son stayed in town just a little longer to visit the museum again.
