Texas A&M Corps of Cadets Museum

[Aeroscout]

Worth the stop if you're near College Station. Of course the Bush Library and Museum is nearby as well and also worth the stop.

The Cadet museum is fairly large with many interesting artifacts hanging on the walls. But their little room filled with all the old firearms is always my favorite to check out. I've attached a few examples.

Thanks for posting, need to make a trip there. My Dad has always said they have a good collection there. Liked the Colt flattop with the London proof marks.

Truly amazing collection! I had to add the pic of the Shawk & McLanahan percussion revolver because it's so obscure and interesting. There's reference to one in a Louis Lamour novel I read as a kid.

I AM A TEXAS LONGHORN, "MORTAL ENEMIES PAST" OF THE TEXAS AGGIES. I GOT A LOT OF AGGIE FRIENDS, MOST OF THEM SHOOTERS AND/OR HUNTERS, WHO INCESSANTLY BRAG ABOUT ALL THINGS AGGIE BUT NOT ONCE HAVE THEY EVER MENTIONED THE CADET MUSEUM TO ME. NOW I MAY HAVE A REASON TO GO (UNDERCOVER AND IN DISGUISE) TO AGGIELAND. I SUSPECT THAT MOST OF MY AGGIE BUDDIES MAY NEVER HAVE BEEN TO THE CADET MUSEUM. AM THINKING OF DOING A PILGRIMAGE TO THE SHINER BEER BREWERY IN SHINER, TEXAS, AND ALSO TAKING IN THE TEXAS RANGER MUSEUM IN WACO, TEXAS AND THE 2 MUSEUMS IN AGGIELAND.

I've not been to the others you've mentioned, but the Texas Ranger Museum is not to be missed, Rey! Very worthwhile.

I'll have to go by the Ranger museum next time in Waco.

AEROSCOUT: I HAVE ASKED 2 RING WEARING AGGIES (1 IN HIS 30's AND ONE IN HIS 60's) ABOUT THE CADET MUSEUM, NEITHER KNEW ANYTHING ABOUT IT, WHAT A SHAME. THE CORP USED TO BE THE HEART AND SOUL OF A&M BUT NOW ONLY ABOUT 5% OF THE STUDENTS ARE IN THE CORP.
