Chebulinsky Local History Museum

About museum

On July 1, 1989, the Regional Department of Culture issued an order to establish a local history museum in Verkh-Chebula. The museum's collections were formed from items of antique household utensils, coin collections, photographs and letters from the fronts of the Great Patriotic War gathered by local schoolchildren under the guidance of librarian Ekaterina Romanovna Moskovchenko. Over two years the 1908 building was repaired, the interior was decorated, exhibition equipment was acquired and exhibits were collected. On June 29, 1991, the museum was opened to visitors and still serves in the Chebulinsky district as a center for preserving, studying and promoting historical and spiritual heritage. It features an exhibition hall and eight permanent exhibitions: "From the Plow to Concord", "Paleontological and Archaeological Finds of the Chebulinsky Land", "Peasant Life in the 18th–19th Centuries", "The Soviet Period: 1930s–1990s", "We Did Not Spare Our Lives for the Motherland", "Interior of Village Housing in the 1960s", "Wonderful School Years", "Nature of the Native Region".
