This exhibition reflects the important milestones in Mytishchi’s history spanning from 1861 through 1917. During this period, the first industrial companies were appearing in Mytishchi. Brick production facilities belonging to Ivan Gerasimov, Ivan Voronin, and Mikhail Chelnokov were the first plants built in Mytishchi. In 1862, Mytishchi gained access to the railroad.
In the mid-19th century, the first dachas (summerhouses) began to appear on the outskirts of Moscow. Perlovka is one of the most famous locations where these out-of-town residences were built, named after the first homeowners that settled there—the Perlovs, a family of Russian tea merchants. Mytishchi became a popular location for building dachas in the early 20th century.
The main exhibition of the museum is full of postcards and photographs that capture the vivid rural recreation people were enjoying in Mytishchi back then. These quaint objects are mementos of a carefree dacha living, and the collection of bricks with seal stamps harks back to the city’s industrial past.
