MacArthur Memorial
A memorial that houses General MacArthur's tomb, set in a 19th-century former city hall, with artifacts from World War II and the Korean War; free to visit.
The MacArthur Memorial is housed in Norfolk's old City Hall, completed in 1850. The circular central hall holds the tombs of General Douglas MacArthur and his wife. The surrounding galleries display his belongings, from his years at West Point and his campaigns in the Pacific theatre of World War II, to the Japanese surrender and the Korean War, including medals and his official car. It is about a five-minute walk from Nauticus, so the two are easily visited together. Free to visit; closed on Mondays.
