Golyshmanov People's Local History Museum

On December 5, 1963, the local history museum in the village of Golyshmanovo received its first visitors. Over the years, the museum has become a reliable curator of history and propagandist of local lore.

The origins of this great noble cause were teachers of school No. 1 and amateur local historians Grammatchikov M. E., Anufriev S. S., Sukhov B. O., Leonovich A. I., Gerasimov A. N., Rusakova V. K. Their efforts and companionship in the first years were collected hundreds of antiquities characterizing the life and life of the Siberian village. Collected materials about scientists-compatriots and advanced production, Heroes of the Soviet Union and famous Golyshmanovtsev, their talent and work glorified a small homeland.

In 1984, the public museum of the village of Golyshmanovo was awarded the honorary title “People’s”. Until 1990, the museum worked on a voluntary basis under the leadership of Sukhov B. O., from 1990 to 2002, the museum was headed by Zhuravlev S. A. (now Usoltsev S. A.), from 2002 to 2016 - Skarednova N. N., from 2016 - Usoltsev S. A. For more than 15 years, Kazantsev L. K. (guide), Muravyov L. V. (guardian of funds), Sotnikova L. B. (cashier).

A new stage in the life of the museum began with the arrival of the new director S.A. Usoltseva. In 1996, the museum moved to a new building and expanded its exhibitions in seven halls. Halls of historical and exhibition, ethnography and nature, paleontology and memory acquaint with the past and present of the region, open pages of history and culture, tell about people and their good deeds for the benefit of a small homeland. A special place in the work of the museum is the patriotic education of the younger generation. The Hall of Memory became a venue for lessons in memory and courage, meetings with veterans of the Great Patriotic War and home front workers, soldiers-internationalists and participants in local wars and conflicts, veterans-border guards. Here they create their own books “Memory” and “Soldiers of Victory”, including detailed biographies of countrymen. The museum cooperates with the Tyumen search team "Krechet" and helps in the search for relatives of those soldiers who in August - September 1941 became a human shield on the approaches to Moscow. Based on the materials of this work, the diorama “Valley of Immortality” was created.
