Be sure to visit the General George S. Patton Memorial Museum if you’re ever between LA & Phoenix. The Museum was established to honor the late General George S. Patton and the thousands of men who served with him at the Desert Training Center and overseas. The museum is located off Interstate 10, about 30 miles east of Indio at Chiriaco Summit, which was the entrance to Camp Young, command post for the Desert Training Center during World War II. There’s a yard full of old tanks, slowly rusting away like the ones shown here.
I had NO idea that there was a museum dedicated to General Patton. This place may be about an hour or so away from me here in Temecula, CA
I found the link for it too:

Thanks!
There is the “Official” George S Patton Museum at Fort Knox, Kentucky. It is loaded with a bunch of his well known belongings such as his pistols, his cavalry uniform, his command car which he had his accident and a ton of armored vehicles including some early WWI tanks, all free admittance. Cool stuff!It’s a great museum.

Speaking of Patton, his official museum is at Ft. Knox in Kentucky. It’s a real blast, forgive the pun. Only Royal King Tiger I’ve ever seen BTW
