    This museum is both the birthplace and deathplace of General Gregorio Luperón. The exterior of the house is a beautiful seagreen, and the interior of the house is renovated to display exhibits and artifacts. This fun tour was made even better with the skill of the guide. Fluent in English and Spanish, she gave added insights on artifacts and the building, along with translating signage as needed. Tickets are $200DR (under $4 USD) for adults and $100DR (under $2USD) for children. Casa Museo General Gregorio Luperón is a must-visit for anyone interested in Dominican history.

    Great visit and they offer a tour guide. Excellent history of the emancipation of the DR people from their perspective. Historic photos and artifacts take you back in time. Location also has a cute cafe with shady spot. Entrance was about $5.

    (Translated by Google) The Gregorio Luperón museum is located in the city of Puerto Plata, it is a place destined to highlight the life of the General or the first Restoration sword of the Dominican Republic. The Museum has excellent guides who can speak in the language of your country, and there are countless objects from Luperón's time. (Original) El museo Gregorio Luperón está ubicado en la ciudad de Puerto Plata, es un lugar destinado para resaltar la vida del General o la primera espada de Restauración de la República Dominicana. El Museo cuenta con unos guias excelentes que puede hablar en el idioma de tu país además hay un sin número de objetos de la época de Luperón.

    This place is great, the tour guide was very nice and knowledgeable of Luperon and the Restauration War history. My 10 year old daughter loved it. She was thrilled she was allowed to play Luperon's daughter's piano.

  • 3/5 David S. 4 years ago on Google
    I was with a tour group and one of the staff gave us a guided tour and talk. The staff were all pleasant. Since this museum was about DR culture and history, it did not interest me much.

  • 5/5 Timothy G. 5 years ago on Google
    300 pesos gets you a guided tour of the meticulously reconstructed house that Luperón lived in during his final days. There is a nice coffee shop attached. Staff is very nice, welcoming, and helpful.

  • 3/5 Richard 2 years ago on Google
    All the descriptions of the displays are in Spanish, after I translate them I'll have a better idea of what it was all about. Being in a smaller group and having Google translate for Spanish downloaded on my phone would have helped make it a better experience.
