The square in Cuba is the focus of activity during Cuba’s Soldiers and Sailors Reunion, an annual community celebration. Putnam Township Park, just south of Cuba is restored mine ground that now offers a 9 hole Frisbee golf course, fishing, picnic pavilions, baseball and softball fields, and a volleyball sand pit. Near this park, is the new Cuba High School, award winning for its use of “green technology.” Its solar arrays and wind turbine are visible to passersby on Illinois Route 97. Cuba offers to travelers restaurants, a bar, ATM banking, laundromat, convenience stores, gasoline, car wash, as well as bulk foods, and a furniture store that are part of the Amish settlement established just southwest of town along Illinois Route 95.
