Sadly, the US Army Patton Museum of Armor in Ft. Knox KY has closed, a victim of the base closing act which relocated the armor school.

A small museum about General George Patton remains in the old site, as do a handful of lackluster armored vehicles along the road in front of the museum.

The collection has moved to Ft. Benning, Georgia, however, funds to build a museum there have been cancelled due to the US Federal budget crisis.

The same is true for the Aberdeen Maryland armor museum. The collection was moved to Ft. Lee in Petersburg VA however, funding to build the museum was zero'd out.

The US is left with NO national armor museums at the moment.

For all those worried about the armor collection from Ft. Knox it is being kept up and more project are underway. Old tanks never die they live on forever
