Then the nitty-gritty: saddles, spurs, horse whips, riding crops, chaps, cowboy hats, boots, etc. all the necessary tools for the cowboy. The staff is very well-versed. They can explain what each piece is used for and who were the best artisans. The souvenir shop is cute and chock full of Texan stuff. Cutest was a Texas-shaped shot glass. The museum will be undergoing expansion soon. Wow. Give it a visit when in Cuero.

This museum doesn't seem to have a permanent collection. Instead, it houses a continuous array of touring exhibitions. You can eat and drink in the gallery! When I came, two women had gotten lunch to go from Dairy Queen down the street, and were enjoying their Belt Busters in front of a magnificent work of art in the cool breeze of the air conditioning. For my visit, they had an exhibition of linoleum etchings. It was really cool, because they had a couple of places where you could sketch your own linoleum tile to try it out. They have a gift shop here, with high priced works of art, but you're not going to find this stuff anywhere else. It seems that they have a little bar in the back for parties and events. Parking is only available on the street, but when I went, there wasn't a big crowd, so it was easy. The gallery attendant was extremely nice and welcoming, and went on to explain the history of the museum and a bit about the artist. I was really impressed, and can't wait to return for the next exhibition!

The museum had a short video that we never saw entirely, but it was still interesting. There is so much information to read! While my young daughters enjoyed it, it was quite a bit for their pre-teen brains to take in. There was a cannon that they could physically touch. That was cool. Ticket Prices as of May 27, 2025 Adult $5 Senior/Veteran/Teacher/First Responder $3 Child (6-17) $2 Child (5 and under) Free Family (2 adults & 1 child) $8, each additional child $1 Because we were at Goliad State Park a few hours beforehand, the friendly and knowledgeable attendant gave us half off of admission. So glad my uncle and grandmother suggest this place. Now the "Remember Goliad" battle cry is much more significant. Make time to visit the other area statues and historical sites too while you're here. They aren't a far drive away. For more info, visit https://thc.texas.gov/historic-sites/presidio-la-bahia

There is also a wonderful informational video that you're able to watch for background. We saw a number of model planes, marketing materials from back in the day and got to try a pretty neat flight simulator. If you're passing through, I'd highly recommend dropping by this lovely spot!
