Residents of the Taseevsky district have always felt proud of the history of their small homeland. It includes a beautiful legend about the Tungus prince Tasey, after whom the village is named, and one of the oldest settlements in the Yenisei province, the village of Troitskoye. This village was famous for its saltworks, and its snow-white, high-quality salt, obtained through an environmentally friendly evaporation method from brine, was even delivered to the royal table of Catherine II. During the Civil War, the Taseev partisan republic operated in the district, playing an important role in the defeat of the Kolchak forces in Siberia.
The Taseevsky Local History Museum opened in 1964 as a museum of partisan glory. Over time, its collections have been enriched with valuable documents and exhibits reflecting the history of the district. Until 1991, the museum operated on a voluntary basis, supported by a council that included members of the partisan movement, veterans, teachers, and students. Over the years, the museum has gathered materials about the village, the Decembrists, political exiles, the partisan movement, repressions, the Great Patriotic War, as well as about enterprises and residents of the district. The museum regularly conducts tours and events for schoolchildren, as well as excursions around the village and its historical surroundings.
In 1990, a new museum building was constructed in the historical center of the village, next to the house where S. M. Budyonny stayed in 1929. The new museum building features a unique exterior and interior design. Its exhibits present various historical periods and events: the history of the village, the exile of the Decembrist nobles and political exiles, the fall of the monarchy, the partisan movement in the Taseevsky volost, and the famous Taseev partisan republic led by V. G. Yakovenko, the first People's Commissar of Agriculture of the RSFSR, as well as the years of repressions and the Great Patriotic War, during which the residents of Taseev experienced many trials.
