 The Turkey Trot
cuero talks turkey trot museum exhibit

The Cuero Turkey Trot was once one of the most famous and glamorous celebrations in the United States. People came from many parts of the country to join in the festivities. Cuero was titled "The Turkey Capital of the World." Why all of the celebrations over this bird? Well, turkeys from Cuero went across the United States for all the wonderful Thanksgiving meals so why not. This exhibit documents its long history, why it ceased to exist, and what came after it.
