Pearl Harbor Visitor Center – Welcome to Pearl Harbor, your gateway to American wartime history. Here you get to visit monuments and museums, see exhibit galleries and displays, and learn from Pearl Harbor survivors. Pearl Harbor is located in the southwestern part of Oahu, Hawaii. It is the largest natural seaport in Hawaii. Pearl Harbor is the only US naval base named a National Historic Landmark and the headquarters of the Pacific Fleet. The Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor during World War II. During the war time, the Arizona Memorial was buried underwater. In order to commemorate the painful lessons of the year and pay tribute to the soldiers who died in battle, the US government built the Pearl Harbor Memorial Museum in 1980 on the wreckage of the warship. On September 2, 1945, in Tokyo Bay, on the deck of the Missouri battleship, General MacArthur accepted Japan’s unconditional surrender and ended World War II. In order to commemorate the historical relics of World War II, this huge warship is permanently anchored in Pearl Harbor as a real and vivid living museum. The exhibits cover the 50-year service history of the three wars.
