On May 9, 1985, the Frolovo City Local History Museum opened its doors to visitors for the first time. The idea of creating a museum in Frolovo emerged in the early 1960s. The organization of the museum was led by veterans of the Great Patriotic War, Pyotr Andreevich Serov and Alexander Mikhailovich Zaitsev, who became the first unofficial staff member of the museum. Initially, it was planned that the museum would be dedicated to military and labor glory, but attention was also given to local history. In the late 1960s and early 1970s, the creation of the museum was supported by V. P. Detkovsky, the secretary of the Frolovo branch of the All-Russian Society for the Protection of Historical and Cultural Monuments. The museum council was headed by A. M. Zaitsev. In the early 1980s, in anticipation of the 40th anniversary of victory in the Great Patriotic War, work on the museum's establishment intensified. A significant contribution was made by V. I. Dolgov, head of the city culture department, who managed to organize the museum as a cultural and educational institution, secure a building, attract assistance from organizations, and create the first team of staff. The museum officially began its activities in the spring of 1984 and welcomed its first visitors on May 9, 1985, on the 40th anniversary of victory. Within a year, an exhibition was created consisting of three sections: Frolovo residents who participated in the war, Soviet-Czech relations, and the life of Don Cossacks. The museum building, constructed in the late 19th or early 20th century, reflects the traditions of Don Cossacks. It was a residential house before the revolution and belonged to a wealthy family. The first information about the building dates back to 1918 when it housed the headquarters of the Frolovo garrison. Since 1984, the museum has been located in this building. The first permanent staff members, K. I. Zhmurina and Z. V. Abramova, actively collected exhibits, creating the foundation of the museum's collections. Today, the museum employs three staff members: a director, a curator, and a research associate. The museum team engages in scientific work, the results of which are published in local press and local history collections. Staff also prepare broadcasts for Frolovo television. The museum features archaeological collections from the Mesolithic to the Golden Horde and ethnographic items reflecting the life of Don Cossacks in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. A significant portion of the exhibits is dedicated to the participation of Frolovo residents in the Great Patriotic War, including materials about five Heroes of the Soviet Union. The museum's collections hold documents and photographs from the late 19th and early 20th centuries, as well as applied arts products. The permanent exhibition includes several sections: the archaeological history of the region, the Cossack living room, the merchant's room, and the city in the 20th century. The region's nature is represented in the exhibition "Birds of the Don Region." The museum regularly hosts exhibitions and has over five thousand exhibits. Staff consult schoolchildren, students, and employees of various institutions on historical and local history issues.
