This room explores the family origins and early years of Miguel Hidalgo. On the right side of the room, reference is made to his maternal family, who were educated people. Their legacy is represented through objects such as a table, a chair, and an inkwell, as well as a reproduction of the parish book where Hidalgo recorded baptisms during his time in Dolores.

On the opposite side, the display focuses on his paternal family, who were farmers and rural workers. This is illustrated through branding irons, horse tack like spurs and bits, and farming tools. At the center of the room is a baptismal record alluding to the early life of Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla.
