Hacienda Eknakán

In 1901 Molina expanded the operation by purchasing Dzitiná and in 1903 he acquired Hacienda San Isidro Ochil, 20 miles to the south.

[5] In the late 1950s into the 1960s in an effort to move away from henequen production, the hacienda was diversified back into livestock, primarily poultry, cattle and pigs.

To one side is a chapel with a carved table holding an image of San Francisco and at his feet is a wooden horse.

Ancient bells, bowls, a baptismal font, a closet with priestly garments and three wooden chests are also on display.

In the second, organized around a large square, stand the chapel and the powerhouse, as well as the village for the "acasillados" (farm laborers) on its northern side.

The main house is on a raised platform and the front and rear façades are flanked with arched porches.

[7] All of the henequen plantations ceased to exist as autonomous communities with the agrarian land reform implemented by President Lazaro Cardenas in 1937.

His decree turned the haciendas into collective ejidos, leaving only 150 hectares to the former landowners for use as private property.

After 1937, figures indicate those living in the community, as the remaining Hacienda Eknakán houses only the owner's immediate family.
