CUERO - In addition to being a first-class showcase for preservation of the area's ranching and agricultural heritage, the Chisholm Trail Heritage Museum could also provide a boon to the Cuero tourism industry.
That's the message museum board president Robert Oliver delivered to more than a dozen downtown Cuero business owners during a luncheon and tour Monday at the Knights of Pythias Hall, which is being renovated to house the museum.

Cuero State Bank Exhibit
"Grand Ole Opry"
In 1925, the Grand Ole Opry, an American institution and the longest
radio show in the country, began broadcasting on WSM, radio station
of the National Life and Accident Insurance Company. The idea was to
broadcast a radio show of old-time music performed by amateur musicians
as a way of promoting the insurance company in and around Nashville.
The show, still broadcast today on WSM, grew to become the radio home
of some of the most prominent and influential artists in the country
music genre and an important and enduring chapter of radio history.
Grand Ole Opry, which opened January 6, 2006 in the lobby of
Cuero State Bank, was an exhibition featuring thirty photographs taken
by Gordon Gillingham, a commercial photographer hired to photograph
the Opry between 1952 and 1960.
