Caguas Museum of Tobacco

About

The Caguas Museum of Tobacco, officially the Herminio Torres Grillo Museum of Tobacco, is a museum dedicated to the history of the growth and industry of tobacco in Puerto Rico and the wider region of the Caribbean. This museum is located on an old colonial neoclassical building in Caguas Pueblo which used to be a blacksmith shop, and it is the only of its kind in Puerto Rico. Tobacco used to be one of the most important crops in Puerto Rico until the 1960s, and Caguas used to be one of the main growers of this crop in the island.
