The neoclassical building that today houses the Site Museum and Visitor Center (inaugurated in 2018) was built around 1880 in the space that, since pre-Hispanic times, was the main access to the sacred hill of Chapulín and, later, the entrance or sentry box of the Military College during its location in the Chapultepec Forest.

It is dedicated to the preservation of the memory and the historical and environmental heritage of Chapultepec Forest, through objects, museography and digital resources in its two rooms.

It is a living precinct in which various activities are carried out, including artistic expressions for the whole family: concerts, stage performances, plastic arts, literature, workshops, tours and, monthly, the Night of Museums.
