About Museo Histórico de la Revolución (Quinta Luz)
Quinta Luz is the 50-room house where Revolutionary general Francisco Villa, Pancho Villa, lived with his wife Luz Corral, who maintained the house after his death. Since 1982 it has been the Historical Museum of the Revolution, administered by the army.
The rooms display photographs, weapons, uniforms, furniture and documents from the Mexican Revolution, which began in 1910 and in which Villa commanded the División del Norte.
In the courtyard is the 1919 Dodge car in which Villa was ambushed and killed in Parral in 1923, with the bullet marks still on the bodywork.
The house is in a residential neighborhood about 1.5 km south of downtown, and the visit is usually combined with the cathedral and the Government Palace.
