The landscape and ethnographic "Salt Museum" in the village of Nekrasovskoye is a complex that recreates a salt boiling yard from the 13th century. It is located in an area with large deposits of rock, potassium, and magnesium salts. Until the end of the 17th century, salt extraction here was the main source of income for local residents. In the museum, visitors can see how brine was extracted from special wells and how salt was evaporated using simple devices, as well as try making salt themselves. After this, visitors are offered to taste pickles prepared according to ancient recipes.
In this unique museum in Russia, one can learn about the salty history of the Yaroslavl-Kostroma road, the Great Salt Route, and the development of the salt industry since the Permian period. Visitors will get acquainted with the origins of salt boiling in Rus, the Solonitsa River with its brackish springs, and unique microorganisms that inhabit these waters. The tour includes a visit to a Russian room with a collection of salt cellars and a tasting of black salt prepared according to an ancient recipe. In the salt barn, the secrets of food preservation will be revealed, as well as the salt production in the settlement of Bolshie Sali and the salt boiling yard of the 17th century. Guests will learn about the technology of brine evaporation and can participate in traditional Russian games and round dances, such as "Oh, my flax, my flax" and "Golden Gates."
