Peebles Park
Peebles Park is an exceptional new green space located in the heart of Cuero’s Downtown Historical District. This urban “pocket park” is located between the existing CTHM building (Knights of Pythias Hall – c. 1903) and the planned Museum expansion project.
Named in honor of the Peebles, Alexander, and Muir families, funding for Peebles Park was graciously donated by Patricia Muir to pay homage to her family’s long ranching heritage in DeWitt County.
Peebles Park features native, drought-tolerant landscaping and large oak trees, picnic areas, benches, free community bicycle and dog watering station, WiFi access, and an electric charging station. Period lighting enhances the aesthetics of the park, providing safety at night. A sound system is available for public concerts and offers seasonal music during certain holidays.
With over 11,000 square feet of outdoor space, the setting is perfect for outdoor wedding receptions, reunions, parties, dances and concerts.

George Bishop Park
Approximately 7,000 square feet outdoor space, bounded by the Museum and our landscaped parking lot. The green space is available for private parties and events, and can accommodate tent set up.
English-German School
The CTHM and many generous donors worked together to save Cuero’s original English-German School (c. 1880), and bring it back to the community on our campus. The relocated/renovated house and grounds is the home of Cowboy Camp, our popular summer program. The school has become a community hub for birthday parties, baby & wedding showers, yoga classes, and gardening through the demonstration garden behind the school house. This charming venue with its rustic appeal and modern conveniences, includes a full kitchen and AV in place for presentations.
Proctor-Green House
The late-Victorian style Proctor-Green House was constructed in 1882. Restored in 2011-2012, the home is now part of the Chisholm Trail Heritage Museum. The 3-bedroom, 2-1/2 bath guest house is beautifully appointed, combining the charm of its gracious past with fully updated conveniences and amenities, including a formal dining room that seats eight. The Proctor-Green House is available through the Museum for overnight lodging and special events.
