There is no doubt that the private museum of Ples, discovered by archaeologist Pavel Travkin, will be of interest to the Museum of the Ancient Russian Family Estate

Museum of the Old Russian Family.

Based on the excavations in Plyos, one can confidently say that it is the most well-preserved city of Rus during the pre-Mongol yoke.

Therefore, the medieval farmstead, which Pavel Travkin offers to reconstruct according to the results of numerous studies, is not only a specific date, but also an exact address.

The Old Russian Family Estate Museum is an interactive museum where the atmosphere of Old Russian identity reigns, having worked on a loom, grain mill or hand potter's wheel.
Before us is a medieval hut, once located on the jewelery street of the Pleskaya Posada, which was burnt in a fire in February 1238 under the Horde raid.

The main principles of the museum-estate of the Old Russian family - authenticity and accessibility. Therefore, all the exhibits presented, which, in addition, you can hold in your hands, are the maximum copies of found archaeological finds from this very street of jewelers. And weapons, and jewelry, and children's toys, and kitchen utensils, and other household items - all these are authentic repetitions of the real objects of the 12th and 13th centuries.
