Visiting the merchant Baibakov

We invite everyone to visit the successful merchant of the second half of the XVIII century Anton Evgrafovich Baybakov!

The program provides an excellent opportunity to inspect the owner’s house and a retail store with a basement, try on the role of a merchant: offer overseas goods and bargain for a good price.

The excursion also includes a cozy tea party from a samovar with jam and muffin, a trip to the Bogoroditsky Palace-Museum and a park located in the ancient city of Bogoroditsk, in the former estate of the counts of Bobrinsky.

Programme plan:

• Excursion to the Bogoroditsky Palace. The museum and park are the former possessions of Catherine II, which after the death of the Empress was inherited by her illegitimate son, Count A. Bobrinsky. They decorate with their appearance and grandeur the park of a small town. The tour introduces the architectural features of the palace and park ensemble, the history of the estate, museum funds, expositions, exhibitions, home theater. A walk through the estate, imbued with the spirit of antiquity, is a great way to get away from the bustle of the big city and arrange a real reboot.
• Visit to the village of Epifan - an ancient county town with long merchant traditions, the "capital" of the Kulikovo field. Excursion to the museum of the history of Russian merchants immerses in the atmosphere of the XVIII-XIX centuries. The program includes a visit to the house of a successful merchant, cellars and a trading shop. The interactive performance “Visiting the merchant Baibakov” is composed with elements of trade and tea drinking. If desired, you can walk through the garden and the estate.

All prices are for organized groups. The cost for a different number of people, as well as for mini-groups (7-9 people) and for individual tourists is calculated on request! You can adjust the program at your request.
