Museum Exhibitions
Permanent Collections
The pieces on display in the museum date from the 18th and 19th centuries, specifically from the period of the conflict between Puebla and the French army, a battle in which Xochiapulco played an important role. In display cases there are at least 71 pieces, including weapons and period costumes, 65 photographs from the above-mentioned centuries, and 75 war documents; one of them considered of great value for its written content, a letter that Juan N. MĂ©ndez sent to Juan Francisco Lucas, informing him about the French invasion, which represents the best testimony of Xochiapulco's participation in the Battle of May 5.
