Kalacheevsky Local History Museum

About museum

In 1985, in the Kalacheevsky district, a local history museum was opened on the occasion of the 40th anniversary of Victory in the Great Patriotic War. The museum displays exhibits showing the culture of the peoples who lived on this territory many millennia ago, as well as evidence of the founding and settlement of the sloboda of Kalach. The museum has four halls: archaeological, ethnographic (peasant room), hall of military glory, and a modern hall. It exhibits items characteristic of peasant life in the 18th–19th centuries, as well as tributes to the heroes of the Civil War and the Great Patriotic War, and the Afghan and Chechen conflicts. The modern hall presents the social and cultural activities of the district in the second half of the 20th and the beginning of the 21st centuries. There is also an open-air museum featuring a windmill, a well crane with a stone trough, a monument to vanished khutors, and other exhibits. Here one can feel the history and culture of the region.
