The museum has a large collection of Zemetchinskaya environment, scarves, towels. The museum also has a large scientific fund - it is historical literature about the region, fellow countrymen - participants of the Great Patriotic War, the history of enterprises of the district, schools, collective farms and state farms.

Such excursions are especially liked by children, they themselves can try to get flour using millstones, and then knead dough for bread - all this is interesting, informative, and how much it brings positive emotions and joy!
