Yegoryevsky Intersettlement District Historical and Local Lore Museum

About museum

In order to study and promote forestry, the station's staff began to collect samples of the district's flora and fauna, as well as animal taxidermy. These exhibits were concentrated in the premises of the Lebyazhinsky forestry enterprise's forest museum. As a result, a unique historical and local lore institution was created, operating on a voluntary, community basis.

\r\nIn January 1930, the Lebyazhinskaya Forest Experimental Station was established, on the basis of which in 1932 the Yegoryevsky Historical and Local Lore Museum was founded. The station's researchers carried out experimental studies in silviculture and collected exhibits of the district's flora and fauna. In the premises of the Lebyazhinsky forestry enterprise's forest museum, taxidermy of animals, birds, and rodents was made. This collection is a particular pride of the museum and attracts many visitors. The museum operates on a voluntary, community basis.
