After 43 years of faithfully serving her community, Sharon Weber is retiring from her recent position as the Executive Director of the Chisholm Trail Heritage Museum (CTHM).
Sharon was born in San Angelo, Texas and raised as a “city girl' in San Antonio. After graduating from Alamo Heights High School, she attended Texas Tech University where she met, fell in love with, and married Cliff Weber, a boy from small town Cuero with deep family roots and a family business (Weber Motor Company) in the community. After marrying, the couple moved to Cuero so Cliff could join his father in the business. With a minor in marketing, it didn't take Sharon long to find a full time position as Director of Marketing for the Cuero Community Hospital. She later became the Director of the DeWitt Medical Foundation where she helped accomplish an impressive array of improvements to the hospital during her thirty-two years there. Under her direction, the hospital created the Belle Terry Elder Women's Center, the Wellness Center, the Childbirth Center, and her proudest accomplishment, the Hamilton- Wallis Chapel. While working full-time at the hospital, Sharon and Cliff welcomed their two sons, Michael and Campbell. In her 'spare time' she managed to head up the PTO, work with the youth group at First Baptist Church, and follow her sons' athletic competitions.
After dedicating so many years to the hospital, Sharon accepted a new challenge and became the Executive Director at the Chisholm Trail Heritage Museum in 2017. Sharon has overseen significant growth in the museum's community presence throughout her time as Executive Director. During her tenure, the Museum has celebrated the opening of the English- German School, Peebles Park, and Steen Roundabout. The museum has been the recipient of five large bronze statues placed throughout the campus, and Sharon enjoyed working with the generous families that donated these beautiful works of art. CTHM has hosted many major exhibitions while under Sharon's leadership, partnering with the Smithsonian Institution and the Witte Museum in San Antonio. Plans are currently underway for a major Museum expansion that will enlarge the exhibit and public space by 14,000 square feet. Sharon has been instrumental in acquiring donors for the naming opportunities available for the new facility.
