Museo Histórico General San Martín

Honors José de San Martín, the general who liberated Argentina from the Spanish and whose name graces parks, squares and streets everywhere; the Libertador is dear to Mendoza, where he resided with his family and recruited and trained his army to cross into Chile. The underwhelming and and musty museum is in a small arcade off Av San Martín.
