THE CLEMENTE MUSEUM

This museum is dedicated to the Pirates of Pittsburgh Baseball Player who died in an airplane crash on December 31, 1972 when he was only 38 years old. Originally from Puerto Rico, Roberto Clemente was more than a standard drummer. He dedicated his life to humanitarian life and particularly to his country's troubled children in a very discretion. It was during the earthquake in Nicaragua that he decided to go with refuelling. His plane will never arrive at destination. The owner of the premises and advertising photographer, Duane, bought this former firefighter's barracks from 1872 to install his studio. He renovated the building by keeping the spirit of the place. After saved from the destruction of newspaper articles and photos about Clemente, he ties with the family of the star baseball family and becomes their official archivist. Thanks to his work as a photographer, he restores great photographs and after collecting so many documents, he decided to dedicate the ground floor of the Clemente barracks. Duane also fills another passion in this place: that of vinification. In the basement there is a cellar where it creates unique and personalized bottles. It is important for grapes from California's finest vines and then supports the production of the press until bottling. Whether you like baseball, photography, a good glass of wine or historic buildings, this place is worth a visit.
