Mykolaivka

The State Museum-Reserve of I. Tobilevych (Karpenko-Kary) was established on the territory of the estate, which belonged to the playwright in the XIX-XX centuries. The estate is named after Tobilevych's wife Nadiya from the Tarkovsky family. The founder of the Ukrainian theater settled here in 1887 after exile, turning the estate into a creative oasis in the middle of the Ukrainian hinterland. Rehearsals of the first Ukrainian theatrical troupe under the direction of M. Kropyvnytsky took place here, there were many luminaries of the Ukrainian theater, and Karpenko-Kary himself wrote his best works: "One Hundred Thousand", "Master" and others. The Tobilevych house, outbuildings, a summer theater, and a park with a pond have been preserved. The September Festival "September Gems" takes place every year.
