Cuero Heritage Museum
Photographer: Kevin Stillman

Cuero Heritage Museum

Established in 1993, the museum houses the new permanent exhibit "Cuero Talks Turkey," which features news articles, pictures and memorabilia of the first five Turkey Trots dating from 1912–1927 and from more than 30 years of Turkeyfest Celebrations. The Royalty Room displays costumes of Sultans and Sultanas who reigned over past Turkey Trots. The Museum is also home to the "WWII Brayton Flying Field" exhibit, a training school for pilots during 1941–1945. The third exhibit is the "Cattle and Cowhands" exhibit, a tribute to the working cowhand past and present. Open Mon.–Fri. 8:30 a.m.–noon, 1–5 p.m. 361/275-2112.
