In 1996, the team came very close to the bronze medal, as the baseball team made it through to the semifinals, but tragically lost to the USA team.

Museo Arqueologico Gregorio Aguilar Barea
The history behind the creation of the Museo Arqueologico Gregorio Aguilar Barea, or Archeological Museum Gregorio Aguilar Barea, started in 1949, when a group of students began to comb through the countryside in search of valuable artifacts and relics that were left behind by previous generations, forming part of the history of Nicaragua. The former mayor of Juigalpa, Gregorio Aguilar Barea, was the founder and the driving force behind the museum, and it is therefore named in his honor. The Museo Arqueologico Gregorio Aguilar Barea is one of the most treasured attractions in Juigalpa, as it is not only a link to the town’s heritage, but to that of Nicaragua.
