Teuriz Historical and Local Lore Museum

The founder of the Tevriz Museum of Local History is Konstantin Petrovich Koshukov, known in the region (01.11.1925 - 10.03.2001). The creation of the museum and collection of exhibits became his life’s work. Konstantin Petrovich made an invaluable contribution to the study of the history of his native land, the preservation of historical memory.
His ancestors were among the first settlers of Tevriz. Love for the native land was passed down from generation to generation of old-timers. Konstantin was the second child in a large family, where from childhood they worked, knew how to learn and loved the book. At the age of 19, Konstantin Petrovich volunteered for the war. Returning from the front, he entered the Omsk Pedagogical Institute and in 1949 became a history teacher at the Tevriz secondary school. In 1956 he opened a museum exhibition of his collections in the classroom of the Tevriz High School. Many for the first time saw ancient coins, postage stamps, medals, shoes and clothes, in which great-grandmothers and great-grandfathers worked and went to festive festivities.
In 1969, the Tevriz school was allocated a separate room for the museum. Exhibitions were held in the reading room of the school library. In 1977, on November 4, the museum celebrated its new birth as a district public museum. On July 12, 1985, in honor of the 200th anniversary of Tevriz, the district museum of local history was opened. It became the center of local history work and patriotic education of the younger generation. In the halls of the museum, excursions, lessons in history and nature science were held. Meetings were held with veterans of war and labor.
For decades, K.P. Koshukov collected exhibits for his offspring. In the fund of the museum - the richest and deepest content material. And the first in the Omsk region "Book of Memory" is also the brainchild of Konstantin Petrovich. It was as a result of his great research work that the names of thousands of Teurizians who passed the Second World War were immortalized.
Teacher, soldier, meticulous researcher of the region Konstantin Petrovich Koshukov became the first Honorary Citizen of the district.
