Yakymivka

The Yakymivka Museum of History and Local Lore was opened in 1972 in the center of the village of Yakymivka, in the premises of one of the preserved buildings of the former manor house, built in 1909 by a local merchant Potetenyev. Today, the museum has more than 2,000 exhibits that tell about the history of the region from ancient times to the present. In particular, the exposition includes many household items of the late XIX - early XX centuries, when Yakymivka became one of the largest points of grain trade in the Azov region: ceramics, decorative and applied arts of different peoples who lived in this area (towels, rugs, clothes, etc.). A separate exposition "Heroes do not die" is dedicated to the events of the Revolution of Dignity and the fallen heroes of the anti-terrorist operation.
