In 2007, Casa Chihuahua Cultural Heritage Center was inaugurated, aiming to preserve the state's historical heritage through exhibitions, artistic activities, and information resources.

Within the building, you can find the Hidalgo Dungeon, the place where Don Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla was imprisoned for a period of 3 months before being executed. The belongings that the priest had are preserved in the location.
