Fleet Admiral Chester Nimitz was born/raised in Fredericksburg. His family were some of the original settlers of the town and owned the Nimitz hotel which was the original museum and just about him and his family. When they started the museum, Nimitz insisted it should be about all those who served in the Pacific theatre, not just about him.
