This museum has seven exhibition halls, a recreation of the centery pulpería ‘La Blanqueada’ and objects that belonged to important characters of the Argentinian history. These buildings as well as the San Antonio de Padua Parochial Church, the Municipal Intendence’s house and the old quarter of Estancia La Porteña were declared National Historic Monument.
