If you want to go central U.S. I recommend the National Museum of the Pacific War.
Located in Fredericksburg, Texas.

I’ve been there and it has some very unique items. They now have a living History Program.

+1.

I'm about an hour from there and have been there twice. Both times 'rushed' and only got to spend a half day. Would love to go there and spend a bonafide full day (or two) with a fellow aficionado.

I'm assuming that sometimes it's "Let's play a game now, eh?" with all the Canadians there?

Murfreesboro might be the place to have it. Not that there's anything wrong with Nashville (except Nashvillen of course). It has Feable Weiner too. Any musicians out there? We could create a band called Murfree's Burro. That might be a better name for a bar.

Oh, you wily Gorn, I have you fooled!

I work in Murfreesboro (The historic courthouse downtown, built before the ACW) and live about 8 miles away!

I would be happy to be the point guy for this. We have lots of great new hotels around here and like has been mentioned before lots of things to see in the region.

There is a Air field just north and west of Columbus were they are restoring a B-17. I know a guy who was a ball gunner on one, Yes he is still kicking, and he gives talks with pictures and will be more than happy to talk about his experiences. We can go shooting too.....GP

Not that I have anything against Texas but it seems an odd place to put a museum of the Pacific War....isn't it hundreds, probably close to 1,000 miles away from the Pacific Ocean?

New Orleans - WWII museum is great and NO is a great town.

San Diego - USS Midway, great tour and weather is San Diego is predictably good.

Phoenix - Commemorative Air Force is based there and weather in winter months is great.


Chino, CA - 2 huge air museums

I believe the main CAF field is still in Texas, but they have a branch in Arizona.

They winter in Mesa (suburb of Phoenix). Pretty much all of them are in display every day and air shows are fairly common from Nov - April.

So this was just a charade then to build the Chester Nimitz Museum but to get someone else to pay for it by labeling it the "Pacifc War" museum.
Well, I always thought those Texans were crafty... ;-)

The Chester Nimitz Museum was the original footprint for the museum. It was relatively modest in size and scope. The museum of the War in the Pacific was subsequently added and, more recently, expanded. It's 'connected' by a courtyard filled with militaria. Most people (including the docents) consider them two separate museums, administered by the same people.

I saw it back in the day when it was co-berthed / co-housed with QEII. What an anachronism!

Though, yes, it is a bit out of the way ... for those of a North American persuasion.

Head SWish from LA and proceed straight on for the next 7500 odd miles ... and be careful for the Gendarmes and their speed traps near New Caledonia

I've posted this pic before, so I'm sure he won't mind. It was very fun to get to sit and have a long conversation over dinner.

I also met up with AUTiger in Memphis (Collierville) a while back as well.

Hoping to hook up with Big B one of these days soon!!

I live in ROLL TIDE country so make it close!!!! Love CW battlefields. Walked all over Horseshoe Bend last summer.
