What can you learn about the city at the museum?
The Historical and Local History Museum’s modern exhibition spans three rooms. It covers the city’s history from the earliest times to the present, offering an overview across the full timeline rather than focusing on individual periods. Exhibition details may change; check the current arrangements before your visit.
The museum regularly organizes exhibitions and other cultural events. Dates for individual events may vary. Individual and group tours must be booked in advance by phone: +7 (496) 536-13-90. Also confirm the current arrangements for tours before your visit.
How do the two parks differ?
The Arboretum, named after Academician A. S. Yablokov, is characterized by its regular layout and clearly defined internal structure. Its four hectares are divided into two areas by a main larch avenue running from north to south. This design gives the grounds a distinct axis and an easy-to-follow division into two parts.
The variety of woody plants is also part of the park’s character: more than 100 species of trees and shrubs grow there, belonging to 24 families and 55 genera of woody plants. The number of species may change over time. The city park has a different focus: the Ucha flows through it from north to south, with fountains along its course. Walking paths complement this scenic side of the park.
The city park also has rides and children’s playgrounds, a Panda Park and a play area. Sports facilities include cycling paths, volleyball and basketball courts, a soccer field, a training area and a skate park. The range extends from play areas to various ways to stay active; which ones suit you depends on your interests. The city park officially opened to visitors in 1964.
Which historic churches shape the town’s history?
The Church of the Smolensk Icon of the Mother of God was built on the site of an older wooden Church of the Kazan Icon of the Mother of God. Its history therefore points to an earlier church building at the same location. The Church of St. George the Victorious offers a different kind of historical reference: it is first mentioned in 1574. The two details differ in whether they refer to a predecessor building on the site or to a first recorded mention.
