Overview

For those fighting in the Pacific, severe wounds and illness posed constant and often deadly threats. Harsh conditions, limited resources, and tropical diseases made survival a challenge for many service members during the war.

This FREE Outpost program offers visitors an opportunity to learn about medical care and advancements during World War II in the Pacific Theater. Guests can explore real artifacts while gaining insight into battlefield medicine, disease prevention, and the doctors, nurses, and corpsmen whose work saved thousands of lives.

Outpost programs are educational, drop-in experiences held on select Saturdays on the Nimitz Platz at 340 E Main St, Fredericksburg, TX 78624. Visitors of all ages are welcome to stop by, ask questions, and engage directly with history.
