Situated in central Texas, Fredericksburg is 70 mi (113 km) north of San Antonio and about 78 mi (126 km) west from Austin. This city has a rich German history which can still be seen during the tour of its historic downtown area. Join the fun and activities at the Oktoberfest held during the first weekend of October each year. The festival features German food, drinks, music, art, crafts and children's activities. Visit the National Museum of the Pacific War to experience the war from the point of view of the soldiers and enjoy the collection of artefacts, including a restored WWII submarine and the casts for the third atomic bomb. Visitors can also re-live Texas-style farm life in the early 1900s at the Sauer-Beckmann Living History Farm, as this working farm retains all aspects of this period to provide a realistic interpretation for visitors.
