Museu do Tropeiro, Historical museum in Castro, Brazil

The Museu do Tropeiro is housed in one of Castro's first houses, built of stucco in a period architectural style for the Carneiro Lobo family, farmers from Jaguariaíva. Its collection holds about 2,500 items, from typical clothing and gear to the cangalha pack saddle and work tools of the tropeiros.

The museum was founded in 1977 to preserve the legacy of tropeiros, drovers who transported goods during colonial times across southern regions. The collection records an important period in the region's trading history.

The collection displays items from the daily life of tropeiros, the drovers who moved through southern Brazil and shaped the region. These objects tell the story of their work and their importance to local identity.

The museum closed for repairs in 2013 and was temporarily housed in the Casa da Praça; it reopened to the public in June 2017. It occupies one of Castro's first houses, built in estuque, once owned by the Carneiro Lobo family of Jaguariaíva farmers.

The house was built with estuque, a stucco technique, not pau-a-pique; it belonged to the Carneiro Lobo family, farmers from Jaguariaíva, and is one of Castro's first houses. The museum opened on 21 January 1977 and was listed as Paraná heritage the following year.
