There are many sightseeing/tourism activities in the Fort Knox area. Fort Knox is the home of the Patton Museum of Cavalry and Armor which is open year round. The U.S. Department of Treasury's Kentucky Bullion Depository is located adjacent to Fort Knox however it is closed to visitors.
Modern military use of the area began when the War Department established Camp Young at nearby West Point in 1903. In 1918 the first 40,000 acres for Camp Knox, named for General Henry T. Knox, were purchased. The original area purchased for Camp Knox included the town of Stithton, which was razed to make room for the camp. Stithton was settled in the nineteenth century and was a stage and later a railroad station on the route between Louisville and Nashville. It was named for the local Stith family. Some residents of Stithton moved a few miles and founded New Stithton in 1918. This site was acquired by the army in 1942.
The Stithton post office opened in 1874, was renamed Camp Knox in 1925, and Fort Knox in 1932.
