Museo Histórico Municipal La Campana, Historical municipal museum in El Jagüel, Argentina.
Museo Histórico Municipal La Campana is a museum in El Jagüel exhibiting documents, photographs, and objects representing regional heritage. The building features ten exhibition rooms displaying pieces connected to the founding era of Esteban Echeverría district.
The museum opened in 1980 after moving from School No. 14 to the former McClymont family estate, a residence of early Scottish settlers. This relocation allowed it to occupy a historic building reflecting the settlement patterns of the region.
The exhibition rooms display pieces tied to the founding of Esteban Echeverría district, including original papers from early settlers and recreated traditional rural shops. Visitors can observe how daily life and commerce operated in the region generations ago.
The facility offers guided tours for groups and schools with educational materials on local history. Plan ahead if you wish to join a guided tour, as these are primarily arranged for organized groups.
The natural sciences section displays one of only four Glossotherium fossils found in Argentina. This specimen comes from the Ice Age and represents animals that once roamed the region millions of years ago.
