Sanders Corps of Cadets Center

The Sam Houston Sanders Corps of Cadets Center is a museum on the campus of Texas A&M University in College Station, Texas, dedicated to the school's Corps of Cadets.

Since its opening in 1992, the Center has become home to thousands of Aggie artifacts, the Metzger-Sanders gun collection, over 60 exhibits, and over 600 photographs. Among the exhibits are those honoring Texas A&M traditions such as the 12th Man, Silver Taps and Muster, as well as some of the Corps of Cadets' most cherished traditions: Aggie Band, Final Review, Fish Drill Team, Parson's Mounted Cavalry and Ross Volunteers.[1]

The Center holds six of the seven Medals of Honor awarded to Texas A&M former students for actions during World War II.[2]
