Beruti: Railway Station, Church and Agricultural History
The history of Beruti provides a common thread linking several of its attractions. The Estación de Ferrocarril Sarmiento, formerly part of the Ferrocarril del Oeste, was inaugurated on August 25, 1890. This date established Beruti’s founding date. The Iglesia Santa Clotilde was added later: it was inaugurated in 1930 and is built in a simple Gothic style. Its windows feature blue, light blue and two shades of yellow.
The Museo del Agro was founded in 1973 by teachers and students of Escuela N.º 7. It preserves the history of agriculture and the town. In this way, Beruti brings together different perspectives: railway history, the church’s architecture and agriculture as part of the town’s history. For travelers interested in these subjects, they give the town a distinctive cultural profile.
Murals and Museums in Trenque Lauquen
In nearby Trenque Lauquen, there are more than 80 murals in public spaces. They invite visitors to explore the city’s streets and learn about its history. The Museo de Arte Mural Rodolfo Campodónico also features 28 murals about the history of Buenos Aires Province. The subject of murals can thus be found both in public spaces and in a museum dedicated to them.
Other museums focus on different subjects. Founded in 1944, the Museo Histórico Regional de Trenque Lauquen presents an exhibition tracing the development of the region’s population and work. The Museo Municipal de Artes Visuales, or MUMAV for short, is located at Wilde No. 10 Bis in a fully renovated railway shed. The Museo de los Carruajes displays historic vehicles such as sulkies, charrets, chatas ferieras and bakers’ wagons.
The Teatro Español is also part of Trenque Lauquen’s cultural offerings. It hosts more than 80 events a year, including theater, concerts, dance and band gatherings. The Comandancia de Villegas tells a different story of historical development: from 1876, it served as a military border outpost; the building was later used as a police station and a school. These places and stories offer different starting points for a stay, without limiting culture to a single museum or period.
