Cuero residents can support an active lifestyle with
a multi-use public park which includes a pavilion with basketball courts,
regulation size swimming pool, sand volleyball court, soccer, tennis,
baseball/softball complex, golf and rodeo facilities. Also located in
Cuero's 180-acre park are barbecue grills and covered areas with picnic tables
and a fenced in playscape area adjacent to the golf course. There is also a
gazebo surrounded by a community garden area. In addition, located in the
park is the 6.8 acre Cuero lake and pier. It offers great fishing! Citizens also
enjoy feeding ducks and geese in this area. In the heart of the park is the
Cuero Golf Course with pro shop and cart sheds, City Club House, and a 4-field
baseball/softball complex. There is a paved running/walking path extending
throughout the park.
Cuero's heritage also plays a major role in the community. There are
currently three museums located in Cuero. The Cuero Heritage Museum is
in the Federal Building at 124 E. Gonzales St., where the Chamber of
Commerce is also housed. The DeWitt County Historical Museum at 312 E.
Broadway and the Reuss Pharmacy Museum located at 515 N. Esplanade. The
Cuero Heritage Museum was built in 1915 as a Federal Office building and
Post Office. The DeWitt County Museum is a historical Victorian home
formerly known as the Bates-Sheppard house. Behind the home sits a two-room
log cabin, once known as the Dentler log cabin. These buildings are part of
the great history of the early settlement days. This museum conducts guided
tours where patrons will learn about the local history. Virtual tours of this
museum are available at
