Encompassing six acres, museum visitors can explore 33,000 square feet of indoor exhibits featuring dozens of media presentations, outdoor Pacific Combat Zone where reenactments bring the battles to life in front of your eyes, almost 1,000 artifacts in climate-controlled cases, 15 macro-artifacts, and hundreds of photographs. The museum, now a Smithsonian Affiliate, honors the more than 100,000 Americans who gave their lives in the war against Japan by “truthfully and respectfully telling the story of their struggles, their sacrifices, and their triumphs.” The museum also honors the eight million Americans who served in World War Il across the globe. Formerly known as the Nimitz Museum, in honor of Fredericksburg’s native son, Fleet Admiral Chester W. Nimitz, it was renamed to respect the wishes of Nimitz who wanted to ensure that all of the men and women who served and supported the war effort were honored. Nimitz served as Commander in Chief, Pacific Fleet, and Pacific Ocean Areas and led the naval victory against Japan.
Having achieved the rank of Fleet Admiral before his final victories, Admiral Nimitz signed the Japanese Instrument of Surrender on behalf of the United States in the historic ceremony aboard the USS Missouri. Nimitz is memorialized with an eight-foot bronze statue that stands on the museum grounds.
“The National Museum of the Pacific War connects people to the experiences and stories of those affected by World War II in the Asiatic-Pacific Theatre by interpreting its enduring relevance,” said a spokesperson for the museum.

Visitors can come to Old Tunnel State Park during these months to watch the bats emerge from the tunnel which was originally built in 1913. The tunnel was used by the Fredericksburg and Northern Railroad until its abandonment in 1941. Now it is home to three million Mexican free-tailed and 3,000 cave myotis bats that spread out over the region and feast on insects and moths across the Hill Country. Bat viewing begins May 1. There are 30 permits available for the upper viewing area and 15 available for the lower viewing area. Permits for entry into the park and fees for the bat viewing must be purchased online.

Sunday houses
Founded in 1846, Fredericksburg was named after Prince Frederick of Prussia by Baron Otfied Hans von Meusebach. After arriving in New Braunfels in 1845, Meusebach set out to select a second settlement of land and decided on what is now known as Fredericksburg. He purchased 10,000 acres on credit and allotted each settle one town lot and 10 acres of farmland. Farmland homes were built with stone and rocks and referred as “Sonntag Haus’ or “Sunday House.” A Sunday House had one room downstairs, a sleeping loft upstairs with an outdoor stairway to get from one room to the other, front porches, and gingerbread lace trim. German immigrants sat on their porches and socialized with neighbors on Sunday afternoons before handing back to their farms, hence, the name “Sunday House.” Sunday house homes and beautiful sone and rock farmhouses in Fredericksburg have been preserved.
Large streets
Back in the day the, streets were designed to be wide enough so oxen carts could be turned around.
Street names
Back in the day, the Lions Club took on the project of giving all the streets names and purchased and installed street signs. It was then that it was decided to name the streets running north and south across Main to spell out words. Starting at Courthouse Square, all of the streets crossing Main to the east were named so that their first letters would spell out “All Welcome” – Adams, Llano, Lincoln, Washington, Elk, Lee, Columbus, Olive, Mesquite, and Eagle. Traveling west from the Courthouse Square, the streets spell out “Come Back” – street names are Crockett, Orange, Milam, Edison, Bowie, Acorn, Cherry, and Kay. Many of the streets found throughout the city are named in honor of trees – Mesquite, Cherry, Cottonwood, Hackberry, Liveoak, Mulberry, Apple, Orange, Plum, Pear, Pecan, Poplar, Spruce, Sycamore, and Walnut. Naturally, there is a street named peach, in honor of the county’s most popular and prolific fruit.
