Museu do Tropeiro, Historical museum in Castro, Brazil
The Museu do Tropeiro occupies an 18th-century building with traditional stone base construction and wooden columns supporting the roof structure in Castro.
Founded in 1977, this museum preserves the legacy of tropeiros, Brazilian drovers who transported goods between Viamão and Sorocaba during colonial times.
The collection contains 2,500 artifacts including clothing, equipment, pack saddles, and work tools that belonged to the tropeiros of southern Brazil.
Located at Praça Getúlio Vargas, the museum reopened in 2017 after three years of renovations to improve its facilities and exhibition spaces.
The building features walls made with pau-a-pique technique, where a wooden framework filled with clay demonstrates regional construction methods.
