The Historical Museum of San Miguel de Allende was inaugurated in February 1990. The property was the family home of Ignacio de Allende, which was acquired by the government of the state of Guanajuato from the last owners who inhabited it until 1979. It is the first museum to be restructured as part of the celebrations of the Bicentennial of Independence, by the National Institute of Anthropology and History. This restructuring was carried out to meet four main objectives: 1. Return the property to its original beauty and dimensions. 2. Provide the museum with a solid academic discourse and an updated museum script, linked to the life of Ignacio de Allende, and his leading role in the beginning of the armed struggle. In addition, to recognize the importance of San Miguel el Grande, as an industrial and commercial center of the Bajío, and as an ideological cradle of independence.
