We're concerned with our region's history, lifestyle of its people, their art, among other elements that helped shape our way of life. As you walk around Selva Negra stop and learn about Matagalpa and its history:
- Visit the museum on the upper level of the restaurant, where you will see many historical documents of the immigrants that started the coffee industry.
- The museum also contains indigenous artifacts of the local communities.
- On the outer wall of the restaurant on the lakeside you will find a large map of Nicaragua with highlights of historical events.
- Next to the map is a dialect translation of the indigenous people's language that is now almost extinct and being reintroduced thanks to Eddy's research.
- On the doors of the Yasica complex you will find local artist interpretations of native lifestyles.
- Make your way down to the coffee processing facility where you will find the history of coffee and how it has affected Nicaragua and the Matagalpa region specifically.
- Buy one of Eddy Kuhl's books on the local history, legends and lore.
