"This was a very interesting museum! It’s not on base; free and open to the public. It started with Patton’s childhood up through his death in a car accident. The museum details Patton’s military career and has a lot of his original memorabilia. The museum also has several other exhibits including one that discusses the origins of ROTC. We would definitely recommend a visit..."

"The museum is practically dedicated to the life and service of General Patton and his ancestors. There are many interesting trophies from various wars and different countries. The museum features numerous fascinating historical facts and life-sized scenes from different eras. There is a wide variety of weaponry and equipment on display. Plan to spend about two hours exploring the exhibition. It’s a great place to visit with a group of mates."

"Excellent museum. While it is named for General George Patton, it is about Army Leadership and who better to have named here then the most effective troop leader of all time?

If you are in Army ROTC, go visit this museum. Read the placards and displays. There are lots to learn for up and coming, as well as junior, leaders."
