Description

The United States Bullion Depository at Fort Knox is one of the nation’s most recognizable symbols of stored wealth and security. The heavily protected facility holds part of the United States’ gold reserves, along with precious-metal assets held on behalf of other governments. Gold deliveries began here in 1937, and the depository remains separate from the nearby U.S. Mint at West Point and other facilities that produce coins.

This is a working federal storage facility rather than a conventional museum or visitor attraction. Public tours are not offered, so travelers should treat the site as a point of historical interest and confirm current access restrictions before planning a visit. Its significance lies in the story surrounding the building: the safeguarding of national reserves, the development of Fort Knox, and the enduring public fascination with America’s gold.
