This building, which houses the Mexican Revolution Museum, is also known as the Casa de los Hermanos Serdan, (House of the Serdan brothers). The first battle of the Mexican Revolution took place here on November 18, 1910, when the Serdan family were betrayed two days before the planned uprising against President Porfirio Diaz. The house retains the bullet marks from the battle. The museum depicts the life and times of Aquiles Serdán (1877-1910) and his family, and has a room dedicated to the women of the Revolution.
Next stop on the walking tour: the Teatro Principal.
Directions: Walking east along 6 Oriente until you reach 6 Norte. Here you are approaching the Teatro Principal from the back. Walk around to the front of the building.
