This small museum on the plaza focuses on pre-Hispanic civilizations that once inhabited the region, such as the Aztátlan, and there's a modest collection of ceramics and petroglyphs to peruse. There's also a reproduction of a fascinating long scroll (the Códice Boturini), telling the story of the Aztecs' travels, with their initial departure from an island looking very much like Mexcaltitán.
