About Fazenda da Posse
The Fazenda da Posse preserves a manor house linked to the formation of Barra Mansa and today houses the Centro de Documentação e Memória. Cultural use makes it possible to learn about the municipal history through the built heritage and the materials preserved in the institution.
Observe the old residence and look for information about its changes over time. Documents, photographs and other records offer a different approach than a farm devoted to rural visitation. The current focus is on the city's memory, and the building needs to be understood in that role.
Confirm arrangements before you go and ask which spaces and materials will be available. Documentary collections have consultation and conservation rules; do not handle objects or papers without authorization. The visit requires travel separate from the center. Plan the route and allow time for reading, without assuming agricultural tours, lodging, or unrestricted entry to the area.
