ANNOUNCEMENTS

The time is fast aproaching when the display areas of tanks, weapons and other artifacts will be closed to the public so they can be prepared for shipment over the following year to Fort Benning, Georgia.

On September 7, 2010, the Patton Museum of Cavalry and Armor will transition to the new
General George Patton Museum. During this transition, the Patton Gallery housing Patton's weapons, uniforms, medals and other memorabilia, the gift shop and Abrams Auditorium will remain open. Also, an interim exhibition, "Highlights of the General George Patton Museum" will be on display and will remain until the planned grand opening in the Fall of 2013. This exhibit will review all of the new units and commands based at Fort Knox. It will also look at selected U.S. Army leaders and their attributes and how they are reflected in their leadership skills. Along with the existing Patton Gallery there will be the addition of "Fort Knox Through Time" which will cover the post's history and other topics.

Please return to this site for more information on new developments.
