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., and the continuing education of Junior Army leaders in the U.S. Army and in particular the Army Reserve Officers' Training Corps. The museum is administered by U.S. Army Cadet Command, Fort Knox and U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command as part of the Center for Military History. The museum began as housing and storage for many captured enemy military vehicles and equipment sent to Fort Knox during WWII 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. The museum collection was eventually moved to the present 45,000 sq. ft building constructed in 1972 and renamed the 'Patton Museum of Cavalry and Armor'. Further improvements and updates were completed in 1992 all without cost to the U.S. Government by the privately funded Cavalry and Armor Foundation, now called the Patton Museum Foundation. The museum was renamed a third time to the 'General George Patton Museum of Leadership' following the 2010 departure of the United States Army Armor School to Fort Benning as part of the Base Realignment and Closure program. The Museum's previously large collection of armored vehicles followed the Armor school to Fort Benning, to become today's National Armor and Cavalry Museum. With this major shift in the Patton Museum's collection, its mission changed to Junior Officer developmental training with a focus on the Army's ROTC and JROTC Programs whose U.S. Headquarters has been based at Fort Knox since 2012. Using the legacy and remaining personal collection of Generals George S. Patton Jr and George S. Patton IV, the Museum continues to train the Army's future and current generation of leaders.
