The museum was founded on November 21, 1987, the year of the 70th anniversary of the October Revolution. Its founder is Dragunova Maria Alexandrovna. She headed the museum for 20 years.

The first exhibits of the museum were paintings by a resident of the village of Tenishevo, a veteran of the Great Patriotic War, a retired doctor Vasiliev Alexander Andreevich. They occupy a central place in the exhibition hall of the museum. Then the funds were replenished with exhibits of applied art.

In the historical-archaeological, ethnographic hall of the museum there is a rich ethnographic collection: household items, tools, antique products made of clay, wood, iron, clothing, a rich collection in the Numismatics section, jewelry, a loom (acting) and much more.

The military hall highlights such topics as “Civil war and the first years of Soviet power in the region”, “Residents of the area on the fronts and in the rear during the Great Patriotic War”. The hall is represented by numerous documents, photographs of participants of the Great Patriotic War. In special closed windows there are military orders, medals of veterans of the Great Patriotic War, soldiers' helmets, pilots, flasks, pots, clothes.

In the modern hall, the district is shown at the post-war and modern stages of development. Extensive material on industrial enterprises in the area is presented.
