General George Patton Museum of Leadership in Fort Knox Kentucky WW2 army equipment
The General George Patton Museum of Leadership is a publicly accessible museum on Fort Knox, Kentucky, dedicated to the memory and life lessons of General George S. Patton, Jr.
The museum began as housing and storage for many captured enemy military vehicles and equipment sent to Fort Knox during World War II by Patton's Third United States Army for study.
Following Patton's death in 1945, many of his personal military vehicles and equipment began to accumulate there, leading to the eventual establishment of 'The Patton Museum' in 1948. This makes it one of the longest continually operating Museums in the United States Army's Center For Military History Army Museum Enterprise.
