1. Hidalgo Garden Marker
Se le conoce también como Jardín Principal. Se consideraba, junto con la Capilla de Guadalupe, la línea divisoria que separaba a los dos grupos étnicos que habitaron el lugar en la fundación: los Guachichiles - originales habitantes - y las familias de indios otomíes. Actualmente frente al jardín, aún se encuentra una placa que hace memoria de este hecho.
