The museum was established in 1989 by Vasyl Moroz, the manager of the local school. Today the museum exposition is situated in nine rooms and numbers more than 4 thousand unique exhibits, collected by local people. In 1996 the museum got the name "the people's museum" and its manager became the laureate of the Ukrainian competition of the best museum managers.
