Museum of the Argentine Federal Police Force School Located
on national route No. 34 This museum was created upon an initiative put forward by the local townspeople who wished to preserve their own history. It functions in the Argentine Federal Police Force School which includes both primary and secondary school levels. A large number of the objects in the museum were recovered from the railway line since most of the villagers were railway workers. When this branch line was lifted, many were left jobless and activity slackened. Amongst the objects on display there are things that belonged to the station such as clocks, a picture of Bartolomé Mitre, the bell, timetables, tickets, lanterns, communication equipment, books recording the movement of trains and money, caps worn by the guards, and clothing. Also on display is the explosive material used to make signs on rainy days. Another hall harbors the library and there is a sector devoted to Everyday Life that contains objects belonging to different periods and a sample case of coins. There are also some archaeological pieces found in the surrounding area. Lugones
