The museum-reserve is located in a village that belonged to Fyodor Tyutchev’s family since the 18th century.
Its first owner was the poet’s grandfather Major Second Nikolai Tyutchev, who married a noblewoman from Oryol Pelageya Panyutina. Here he built the first manor house and erected the manor church of the Assumption of the Mother of God.
In 1914, Tyutchev’s house was destroyed. Only in 1981, in the village of Ovstug, the first symbolic stone was laid in the foundation of the future house-museum, which was restored by studying documents, letters, photographs, drawings and technical drafts. Five years later, in 1986, the museum opened its doors.
The exhibition tells about the world of the estate that was created by several generations of the Tyutchevs, and about the connection between the history of the estate and the life and work of the poet.
