In 1986 Nina Ivanovna became the director of the Spassk Local History Museum, and in 1996 a new building was constructed for the museum, housing exhibition halls dedicated to the history of settlement of the Spassk lands, the participation of Spassk residents in the Great Patriotic War, and the nature of Primorsky Krai.
