Preservation of La Casa Museo Sarmiento
In 1966, a decree by then President Arturo Umberto Illia declared La Casa Museo Sarmiento a National Historic Monument. Thanks to this decree, the house is preserved today in a manner similar to the rest of the wooden houses of the delta. This preservation allows visitors to experience the house as it was during Sarmiento's time, adding to the authenticity of the museum experience.
