In the year of the 60th anniversary of the Great October, the historical-revolutionary museum began its work in the village of Mokrousovo, the administrative center of the Kurgan region.

In the first halls, visitors can learn about the history of the incorporation of the Trans-Ural region into Russia and about the life of peasants before the revolution.

Two halls are united by the theme "No one is forgotten, nothing is forgotten." Here, the names of more than three and a half thousand soldiers and officers who fell for the Motherland during the Great Patriotic War are immortalized, as well as portraits of fellow countrymen, Heroes of the Soviet Union, renowned military leaders, and participants of the Victory Parade.

The museum's exhibitions tell about the heroic labor of the residents of Mokrousovo in the rear, the development of virgin lands, as well as the heroes of the fields and farms of the last five-year plans.

The museum's collection includes several thousand items that were donated by the residents of the district. Some of these exhibits are over two hundred years old.

The museum conducts lessons in history, natural science, biology, as well as solemn events dedicated to the admission of children into the October Pioneers and the handing out of Komsomol and party cards. The museum has become one of the centers of patriotic education in the area.

The museum building is a monument of history and architecture. The former merchant mansion, built at the turn of the 19th-20th centuries, is adorned with intricate stone lace, wrought iron grilles, and carved downspouts, making it unique for the entire forest-steppe Trans-Ural region.
