In Terrenate, municipality of Tlaxcala, the Hacienda San Pedro Tenexac is a Historical Heritage due to the state of conservation it has had since the 19th century.
One of the oldest estates in the state, Hacienda San Pedro Tenexac, is that they have become popular among the Tlaxcalans, offering tourists a unique historical experience.
This farm, located in the municipality of Terrenate, pulquera, agricultural and livestock area, where the old hulls stand out, some of them, majestic in their sobriety, most of them built in the viceregal era and remodeled in the 19th and 20th centuries.
When the process of acquiring goods occurs, it stabilizes and gives rise to the consolidation of the haciendas as structured units of high economic performance and agricultural production in Viceregal Mexico; A time when the indigenous population was joined by the Spanish, Creoles and mestizos.
These haciendas have survived the agrarian reform having to transform their activities, but still retain their architecture and beauty.
The oldest known settlement in this area is the Otomi. The Otomies protected their territory from the Mexica, thanks to alliances with the Tlaxcalans. The route of Hernán Cortés on his journey of conquest to Tenoxtitlàn is traced through this area.
Tenexac, like most of the estates of the State of Tlaxcala, has its origin in the land grants that the Spanish Crown granted to New Spain, in the 16th and 17th centuries. The 18th century saw the erection, in the lands of Tenexac, the first walls that today are the oldest vestige of its constructions.
At the end of the 19th century, Mr. Justo Bretón y Trillanes acquired the property of the San Pedro Tenexac farm, making the payment to its former owners, Mrs. Guadalupe Hizardi and Mr. Pedro M. Gorozpe, in 100,000 gold pesos.
This property is 2,500 meters above sea level, it had 12,500 hectares including 78 annexed ranches. (For the year 1892, Mr. Justo Bretón y Bretón receives the property from the hands of his father when he marries Alexandrina Turnbull Bretón), it is then that he rebuilds the oldest vestiges of its walls.
This is what we now see standing as the hull of the Hacienda de Tenexac. The Breton Turnbull men inherit the estate from their eighth child, Doña Margarita, who married Don Sabino Yano Sánchez and together thanks to their dedication and love, they managed to sustain and preserve it, since then Tenexac has been the heritage of the Yano Bretón family. .
For the year 1892, Tenexac was listed as the most valuable farm in Terrenate, followed by La Noria, Tepeyahualco, Baquedano, Teometitla and, finally, La Laguna.
Tenexac's agricultural production stood out with the crops of corn, barley, beans, maguey and broad beans. Its main product was pulque, which was sold in the national and regional market, as well as on the farm itself. The pulque barrels were driven in carts drawn by oxen or mules to the nearest railway station.
The valleys of the states of Mexico, Hidalgo and Tlaxcala were the seat of the pulque haciendas, which had their heyday in the 19th century. Life on the haciendas oscillated between the luxury of the "big house", with the latest in the comforts generated in Europe, and the rusticity typical of life in the country. The taste for European fashions can be seen in architectural styles, as diverse as the taste and culture of the landowner. Sober stone houses with neoclassical pediments; Adobe buildings with shutters and armored gates, with strong walls protecting an interior garden.
The haciendas were the administrative political center of the communities. On its grounds there was a shop, a church, a cemetery, and sometimes a school. The social transformations of the Mexican XX century ended with the social organization around the haciendas. The abandonment destroyed many, but there are several that have survived times and uses, preserving the gallantry of their past.
If your grace is a night of diligence heading to the beach, a romantic weekend or a month kidnapped to paint, photograph, sketch a book or finish a film script - Hacienda San Pedro TENEXAC is the traditional hospitality of Mexico; born, cultivated and perfected in Tlaxcala - Náhuatl: "Place of the Bread of Corn."
