Architectural and Ethnographic Museum of the village of Kolarovo

About museum

Not far from Tomsk, just a 30-minute drive away, lies the old Siberian village of Spasskoye. This place is protected as a natural park. The village's history began in the early 17th century, when it was founded on the banks of the Tom River near the rock formation Siny Utyos (Blue Cliff). It received its name in honor of the church, the first mention of which dates back to 1644. In the 17th–18th centuries there was an outpost here, as well as a caravan route from Moscow to Mongolia and China. The village has many historical sights, including old buildings and a kurgan burial mound. In addition, the area contains the geological natural monument Siny Utyos, which offers a splendid view of the river and the village. From Kolarovo one can begin the route 'To the Blue Cliff'.
