In 1976, the goverment of San Martin, was proposed to recover the house from the estate of the Vaults to turn it into a museum. It has two domes and 12 rooms in which you can see objects classified by topic, dedicated to the War of Paraguay, the Desert Campaign, the Folklore, Archaeology, Religious Art and Natural and Humanities Sciences .
