The number of elderly people who are keepers and connoisseurs of the past, traditions, and rituals is decreasing. In the Manyuki House of Culture, they decided to create a peasant household museum. They started with a thorough cleaning and reached out to residents for help in collecting exhibits. Local residents offered furniture, shared decorations, and embroidery. Gradually, the house was furnished and made available for tours, especially for children.
As part of the tourism development program and with the aim of popularizing folk traditions and rituals, the peasant household museum began operating at the Manyuki rural House of Culture. Conditions have been created for different categories of the population to access cultural values, showcasing household items and agricultural tools from the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
Tourists and anyone interested in visiting the cottage will find it fascinating to learn about life in the village, home arrangements, activities, and food preparation. Visitors will have the opportunity to participate in household chores. Over the past year, about 1,000 people have visited the house. Children are taken on excursions into the past, while adults happily reminisce about their youth over tea in the parlor and experience nostalgia. Small gatherings can also be held here upon request.
