The city of Chihuahua played a small role during the Mexican War of Independence, as it was here that Miguel Hidalgo was imprisoned and executed in 1811. Although these sites are some distance from the city, downtown museums do provide some insight to these cultures.
The region, however, contains archaeological sites that date as far back as 500 AD.
