House-Museum of the 25th Chapayev Division

About museum

Krasny Yar village of the Ufimsky District of the Republic of Bashkortostan is one of the earliest settlements founded by Russians in the late 15th–early 16th centuries. In the village center there are buildings from the second half of the 19th century which, together with the House-Museum, four houses and the Trinity Church, form the street of an estate village. The era of the late 19th–early 20th centuries, which characterizes the life of Russian estate peasants of Bashkortostan, is preserved here. It is necessary to include in the future historical and cultural center a unique collection of household and ethnographic items authenticated by the Ufa branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences. The museum building, built in 1880, served during the Civil War as the headquarters and field hospital of the 25th Chapayev Division. Two 19th-century houses have been preserved next to the museum.
