Let's start our tour with the most valuable, ancient exhibits. The fossilized crab found not far from the village, under the mountain, cannot but be of interest. There are in the village. Caroling and burial of ancient people. This is evidenced by the remains of primitive hunters found during archaeological excavations.
The Bronze Age is widely represented, many products are made of fired clay. It is impossible to pass by the masterful female and male tools of the 19th century. But there are also simpler things of our ancestors: shovels, pitchforks, stags, scales, keys, scythes and even a special wooden tow, which was attached to the scythe, they raked hay, as well as thorns and chains.
Of great interest is the exposition of the Great Patriotic War. Here are the things of the conscripts of 1941, and barbed wire - a fence, clothes, records, documents of the distant pre-war and war years, biographical data, and old yellowed photographs. Everyone can touch the events of the war, learn about fellow villagers who fought on the fronts, who worked in the rear, who were in Nazi captivity. Everything here reminds of the events of 1941-1945: a tanker's helmet, a hat, a glove, a grenade.
Modern expositions are pleasing to the eye. In all its diversity, there are masterpieces of folk crafts of local masters, which can be fully called the custodians of history. Embroidered towels, women's clothing, bedspreads and other household items. Talented not only embroiderers but also knitters. Knitted women's suits interesting on performance are presented. Along with relatively modern women's clothing, the women's coat of later times stands out for its unusualness. There is originality in it: one floor is noticeably longer than another. This floor was used to wrap small children in it in winter.
