The Cuba War Memorial displays the names of young people from Cuba who fought in the wars from World War I until the present. The memorial was built with donations and was dedicated on Veteran's Day 2008. It is located in front of the History Museum on Smith Street. It is a great source of pride for the community.
The Cuba Recklein Memorial Library is located across the street from the History Museum and War Memorial. It was built as a gift to Cuba by William Recklein in memory of his wife. He also donated the land and old school building, which now houses the History Museum, to the city.
The historic rock Catholic Church on Smith Street sits adjacent to the church's school campus. The church has murals on the inside and on the outside of the school hall.
