The George H.W. Bush Presidential Library & Museum is excited to announce the highly anticipated exhibit A Spirit Can Ne’er Be Told…A Century of Aggie Football will open August 28, 2023!
Texas A&M football has shaped traditions, forged camaraderie for generations of fans, and embodied a spirit that even presidents of the United States embraced, especially George H.W. Bush.
From its humble beginnings in the 1890s, Aggie football has been a driving force for the university, the region, and the state. A Spirit Can Ne’er Be Told… A Century of Aggie Football explores the development of Texas A&M University’s football program, and its important role to Texas A&M’s vibrant history. It also provides a glimpse of why President Bush loved Aggieland and what it truly means to be a part of the 12th Man.
Using original artifacts, as well as historical photographs, documents, and audiovisual materials, A Spirit Can Ne’er Be Told… creates an immersive experience in which visitors get an up-close look at the team’s history, from its first official football game in 1894, through the era of Coach Jimbo Fisher. Designed and developed by the Bush Library & Museum team, the exhibit highlights significant accomplishments, important coaches, and notable players, as well as the unique traditions and celebrations Aggies have known and loved for a century and counting.
A Spirit Can Ne’er Be Told…A Century of Aggie Football will be on exhibit in the Ansary Gallery of American History from August 28, 2023, until April 28, 2024.
