Museum of Mormon Mexican History

Mexican Mormon History Museum Inc. in Provo UT. The Museum operates primarily through donations and the support of the Gomez family.

This museum documents the history of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Mexico, focusing on the first generation of LDS converts to the Church. Initially located in Mexico City, it moved to its current location in Provo, UT, in 2014 and has served that area ever since. The exhibits include the history of the “Mormon Colonies” in Mexico, the Third Convention movement, and the transn

ational relationship between the Salt Lake City church headquarters and the members of the church in Mexico, both Mexican citizens and transplants.

Today we wanted to highlight the role of the LDS Church in education in the years during and after the Mexican revolution. The turmoil of the time meant that education was often out of reach for many individuals. In San Marcos Hidalgo, the Monroy and Parra families championed the cause for education and would go on to found the private school Heroes de Chapultepec in 1944. The school was the first primary school opened by native Mexican LDS members, and though it would take some years to be officially incorporated into the Church Unified School System, Heroes de Chapultepec would serve as the flagship school which inspired several more private LDS founded schools.
Heroes de Chapultepec would close its doors in the late 80s, but 4 decades of students would mourn its loss.
