==Education==
Cuba and the surrounding area are served by the Crawford County R-II School District, a K-12 public institution with a total enrollment of about 1,400 students.<ref>https://www.greatschools.org/missouri/cuba/crawford-county-r_ii/</ref> Its mascot is the Wildcats, and the school colors are yellow and black.<ref>http://www.cuba.k12.mo.us/</ref>
The city also has one [[Roman Catholic]] school, Holy Cross, serving grades PK through 8.
==Community Life==
Much of the local activity in Cuba revolves around the old Route 66. Many old landmarks along the highway, such as Bob's Gasoline Alley and the Wagon Wheel Motel and Cafe (the latter included on the National Register of Historic Places), are still in operation today and are particular draws for tourists following the route. The series of murals on the downtown buildings are popular, as is the Viva Cuba garden at the corner of Historic U.S. 66 and Highway 19.
In addition to these attractions, Cuba also has a number of antique and specialty shops in its downtown section, along with the Crawford County Historical Society and Museum (with an attached Veterans Memorial), and the Midwest Travel Plaza features the Antique & Collectible Toys on Wheels Collection.<ref>https://www.visitcubamo.com/things-to-do/</ref> Nearby points of interest include Meramec Springs Park, Onondaga Cave, the wineries at St. James, and the "World's Largest Rocking Chair," four miles west of Cuba on old Route 66, which was constructed in 2008 and stands 42 feet high and 20 feet wide.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20120424153249/http://www.fanning66outpost.com/rocker.php</ref>
Annual events in Cuba include the Spring Craft Fair in April, the Crawford County Fair in July, and the Cuba Fest in October; the latter includes a bicycle race known as the "Cuban Gravel Crisis."<ref>https://www.visitcubamo.com/event/</ref>
