“This early Fredericksburg home was built in 1866 by Carl Basse. Property of the Henke family since 1873. Heinrich Henke, early German settler and Confederate fighter had ran a butcher counter on the front porch. ”
In the 1800's...“His wife, Dorothea raised 12 children in the home. One of their daughters, Anna Henke Nimitz gave birth to Chester William Nimitz on February 24, 1885. Little did they know he was destined to command the greatest naval armada in history.
