Victory Square is home to two distinct memorials. The monument to Lieutenant General M. G. Yefremov was erected in December 2003; the “Gorod Naro-Fominsk— gorod voinskoy slavy” stele was added in 2010. These dates help place the memorials in context. The “Vechniy ogon” memorial complex, with the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, is another historic site in Naro-Fominsk and opened in 1973.

Since 1986, the monument “Samolyot MIG-17” in the central part of Park “Pobeda” has commemorated pilots from Naro-Fominsk who lost their lives in World War II. Together with the memorials on Victory Square, it offers a tangible way to explore the city's history of remembrance.

Park “Pobeda” is located directly on the Nara River. Park Pobedy “Patriot” has a dedicated exhibition area featuring military equipment: visitors can view the exhibits and learn about their history. The riverbank and the equipment exhibits offer different thematic highlights.

Park Pobedy “Patriot” also has a children's playground, sports and volleyball courts, an amphitheater and observation platforms. These specific facilities give you several options to consider when planning a park visit, although not every activity may suit every travel group.

The interactive museum complex “Liniya oborony” opened on the grounds of Park “Pobedy” on December 26, 2025. If you are planning a visit, check the current visiting arrangements in advance.

The permanent exhibition at the Naro-Fominsk Museum of Local Lore covers the history of the city and region, from the ancient settlement of Fominskoye to the present day. Its timeline therefore spans the area's early settlement through to Naro-Fominsk's more recent history.

The museum has developed interactive events on Christmas in pre-revolutionary Russia, Easter gatherings, Russian tea traditions and animals as fairy-tale characters. Other programs it has developed include themed tours about events of the Great Patriotic War, as well as educational programs titled “Vera Voloshina – Geroy Rossii” and “Nam pesnya pomogala voyevat'”. If you are interested in one of these topics, ask the museum about current dates.
