The Abdulinsky Historical and Local Lore Museum was founded in 1966 thanks to the initiative of well-known and respected residents of the city. Among them were M. V. Nosareva, a teacher at school No. 1, S. A. Parshintsev, a participant in the Civil War, N. F. Popov, a sailor from the legendary cruiser "Varyag", as well as the first Komsomol members N. S. Tsink and V. N. Vorobieva.

Initially, the museum was located in a small building at the merchant Vorobiev's house on Communist Street, 274. Its current address is Communist Street, 61.

The museum features permanent exhibitions: "Peasant Hut", "Abdulino Merchant", "Hall of Military Glory", and "Abdulino. The 20th Century".
