The museum is dedicated to show the technology used by the most important local businesses in their early times. You may see some machines used by one of the oldest oranges producer and exporter. You can also get a bird's view of the Salto-Concordia Hydro electric Dam and see some photos of the way it was built. There is the recreation of the first and most luxurious tea house, in activity in the early 1900's. There are some carriages from the same time, including a horse- pulled hearse. You will find some artifacts from our early indigenous people and recreations of their campsites and "clothing". You will see a collection of the early fire guns used in the country, plus antique "mates" (the gourd to drink our most traditional drink) made of silver, ceramics, pottery. You can also see how cattle was introduced in our country and how it evolved to become our first source of income. At the back patio, you can see the first train we used. In the ground floor there is an exhibition of our "dinosaur" era, and what was found in Salto. There's a lot more to see. If you don´t know any Spanish, it is better if you have a guide or translator.
