Casa Galeano
A private museum in a former colonial house, showing Lenca culture, archaeological finds and local history, with a botanical garden at the back.
Casa Galeano was the old residence of a prominent family in Gracias and is now a private museum. Its rooms display Lenca pottery, traditional clothing, pre-Columbian archaeological artifacts, colonial religious art and old photographs, offering an introduction to the history of Lempira Department and Lenca culture. The back garden grows local plants and medicinal herbs and is very peaceful. Admission is low-cost, a visit takes about 45 minutes, and it lies between the fort and the old town, so it can be visited on the way.
