Sanderson is the county seat of Terrell County, located in southwest Texas. This small town, situated along U.S. Highway 90, was established in the late 1800s and named after Thomas P. Sanderson, a railroad engineer. The town developed as a division point on the Southern Pacific Railroad.

Known as the "Cactus Capital of Texas," Sanderson is characterized by its rugged desert landscape and is surrounded by the scenic terrain of the Chihuahuan Desert. The area's cultural heritage is deeply connected to ranching traditions, railroad history, and Native American influences. The town serves as a gateway to nearby natural attractions, including the Sanderson Canyon and the Rio Grande.

    A woke nightmare of exteme politics. I felt unwelome there and uncomfortable as a straight white guy with my 2 boys. I wish art galleries would stick to art not shove their nasty woke divisive politics and gender obessions down the throats of people

  • The place was awesome. Classic racing engines, cars, tools, even some historic motorcycles, bicycles, and even period metal toys and historic metal lunch boxes. Helpful tour guides were informative and polite, and seemed genuinely interested in patro
