The museum "The Nanny of A.S. Pushkin's House" was opened on July 3, 1974. The exhibition was created by Nina Ivanovna Granovskaya, a senior researcher at the All-Union Museum of A.S. Pushkin. The hut was provided to the family of Arina Rodionovna by the Hannibals and Pushkins in 1795 in recognition of her good service. She lived here with her husband and children, Yegor, Nadezhda, Maria, and Stefan, for a total of three years. Subsequently, her descendants lived in the hut.

In the early 1950s, the hut was acquired by Natalia Mikhailovna Nyrkova. Recognizing its historical value, she succeeded in transforming it into a museum. The hut is unique, as its age exceeds 200 years. Only one ceiling beam remains from the original elements, while the floor, ceiling, and roof were replaced during three restorations. Restoration work was carried out by the Leningrad Regional Scientific Restoration Workshop under the guidance of architect V.V. Ekk.

The exhibition, based on authentic ancient materials, is dedicated to Arina Rodionovna and recreates the atmosphere of a peasant hut from the late 18th and early 19th centuries, when the nanny of the great poet lived here. Upon entering the entrance hall, visitors are immersed in a fairy-tale atmosphere: brooms, dried flowers, and medicinal herbs hang from the ceiling, filling the hut with a unique aroma. Attention is drawn to tools, means of transportation, and an antique chest. Stepping over the high threshold, guests find themselves in the main room, where a Russian stove occupies a quarter of the space. In the red corner stands the icon "The Sign of the Mother of God" and a wooden table. Benches line the walls, and a cradle hangs from the ceiling. On the chest lies the first Russian iron, a rolling pin, and a wooden washboard, while by the window are spinning wheels. On the wall hangs a red sarafan and a white blouse, the festive attire of a serf peasant woman. Nearby is a small bag, a pouch that, according to legend, belonged to Arina Rodionovna.
