Ofrece una alternativa mas entre los aspectos “locales y foráneos”, constituye una oferta patrimonial donde se percibe lo rural.
HISTORY The museum operates in a house built in 1874. It was created on April 27, 1988, by Municipal Resolution No. 04/88, and with No. 04/88 Bis, it is named “Governor Manuel Ignacio Lagraña” in homage to the governor of the province of Corrientes between 1862 and 1865, under whose administration the law creating Ituzaingó was enacted.
Founded on August 12, 2004, it offers an additional option among the “local and foreign” aspects, constituting a heritage offer where the rural aspects are perceived.
HERITAGE This building is an extension of the Social Club, designed with a modern facade, responding to its style. The museum has been receiving objects of immense historical and cultural value through the collaboration of traditional families, making it a must-visit for those who want to learn about part of the history of our town.
Its heritage represents a way of life that still unfolds a few kilometers from Ituzaingó. Its objects depict a series of activities that are carried out daily in the fields surrounding this city.
It is organized in such a way that once you enter, it recreates some environments of the rural houses in Ituzaingó until you reach the courtyard where there are artifacts for plowing the land and working with livestock.
The museum preserves elements of rural life, such as work tools, kitchen utensils, hunting weapons, clothing, objects typical of a country house. There is a hall where the means of transportation used are displayed: carts, field machinery, objects for livestock classification, among others.
Attached to this museum is the Memory Museum: which includes illustrious figures ranging from the founder to political, cultural members, and characteristic family groups of the first settlers. It contains objects from the time, expressions of myths and legends of the region, and items used by these figures.
