The museum opened its doors to visitors on June 22, 1993. Ten years prior, in the settlement, a local history club was organized under the leadership of Natalia Pavlovna Kalinichenko. These enthusiasts actively engaged in research activities: studying the history of the settlement, recording the memories of local residents, and creating albums. From 1990 to 1993, before the official opening of the museum, local historians wrote four "Books of Memory" dedicated to participants of the Great Patriotic War and workers on the home front. These books became the first exhibits of the museum. Since its opening, the museum has become not only a place to connect with history and artifacts but also a venue for community interaction, veteran meetings, and additional education for schoolchildren.

From the early years of the museum's existence, the formation of its collections began. The collection of home textiles and clothing gained particular fame. Over 27 years, significant work has been done to study and describe these collections. Popular scientific publications in the series "Folk Textiles" have been released, and lectures, discussions, and master classes on folk costumes, textiles, and embroidery have been organized. A scientific and exhibition project titled "Costume as an Object, Sign of Time, and National Identity of the Peoples of the Urals" has also been developed.

Today, the museum's collection contains about 6,500 items. Among them are natural science exhibits, home textiles, numismatics, ceramics, and porcelain, which only partially reflect the richness of the museum's collection.
