About Museu do Tropeiro
The Museu do Tropeiro links Castro's history to the movement of troops through southern Brazil. Its collection brings together objects related to travel, work, and the everyday life of tropeirismo.
The visit adds context to the route's road itinerary. Notice how transport, trade, and the formation of settlements connect in the exhibitions, and check the museum reception before arriving.
Castro was an important point in the connections between the southern fields and other markets. The museum offers an interpretation of that circulation through its collection, without turning the driving itinerary into a repetition of the original paths. Allow time to read the information on the objects.
