Where Southern hospitality meets military history

Military History Museums Outdoors Parks Family-Friendly

Bordering Fort Knox directly north of Elizabethtown, Radcliff figures heavily in the military history of the region.

The military base was built in 1861, and today it is home of the George S. Patton Museum. Radcliff was settled in 1919 and was named for Major William Radcliffe, head of the Quartermaster Corps at Fort Knox.
