The General Patton Memorial Museum is located in Chiriaco Summit, 30 miles east of Indio. We were established on November 11, 1988 as a tribute to the life of General George S. Patton. He trained over One million men here at the Desert Training Center in preparation for war in Africa. He needed a place that simulated African conditions and landscape so the desert was a great choice. The center was only opened for two years but it left a legacy that will not be forgotten. We are proud of being able to “preserve the lessons of the past” and teach all our visitors of all the sacrifices that our brave men and women in arms endure for our continued freedom. We are gearing up for our Third Annual Veterans Car Show. The event is to be held on March 24, 2018 and was created as a fundraising effort to keep our nonprofit military museum open to the public.
