Guided tour "At the Museum of Urban life"

1 h 30 min
In the museum, you can see how the "northern silk" flax was grown and processed on the shores of the City, and get acquainted with the collection of Sith axes...

Flax has occupied an important place in people's lives for centuries, and its processing was practically waste-free. Yarn and threads were made from its stems, and the seeds were used in cooking: porridges and jelly were made from them, and oil was also produced. Even the cake left over from this process served as excellent animal feed. Useful skills such as spinning, weaving, sewing, and embroidery were closely associated with this industry. Ropes and ropes were made from flax fiber, while special tools and devices were used for each craft.

The exhibition features an impressive collection of flax processing tools, and the center's staff will conduct a guided tour, during which they will tell you in detail about all the stages of processing this valuable raw material.

    The village of Pravdino. Museum of Urban Life

    According to Dmitry Belsky's seasoning books of letters and measures, the village of Pravdino was mentioned as early as 1596-1597. According to archival documents, in 1820, there were 199 houses in the nearby eight villages that make up the parish of the temple and 1,198 people lived in them. In the middle of a large clearing, surrounded by a century-old mighty spruce forest, stands a wooden hut with a four-pitched roof, built in 1910 according to the design of the provincial architect Nikolai Lermontov. For about 100 years, there was a rural zemstvo school in this hut.

    Now there is a museum with the short name "Sit".
