Cuero’s place in the Chisholm Trail story is significant, as are the artifacts and exhibits at the Chisholm Trail Heritage Museum. Here, visitors are immersed in the cowboy and cattle history of the Guadalupe River Valley. Featured exhibits include video stories of contemporary ranchers and craftsmen, interactive games for children and adults, and a special collection of horse-related artifacts from Latin America.
