The exhibit that you, dear visitor, examine now is unique in its own way. It is the hanger from the house of the Gorokhovets industrialists Shorins, more precisely — Mikhail Alexandrovich Shorin.
Mikhail Alexandrovich was born in 1858. He is the elder brother of Ivan Alexandrovich Shorin, the owner of the boiler and shipbuilding plant in the city of Gorokhovets. Mikhail Alexandrovich firmly established himself in the village Vyezd, and then in the village settlement Krasnoe on the outskirts of Gorokhovets. He acquired the lands that turned up to be in demand by other Shorins close to him, practically from the village Vyezd to Nizhegorodskaya Street of the village settlement Krasnoe (now Moskovskaya Street). He leveled up the business, built a mill, helped children and his brother to organize their life. Mikhail Shorin helped his brother to manage the plant. In addition, he was a member entitled to vote of the municipality assembly of Gorokhovets. The members entitled to vote of the municipality assembly were elected for 3 years. The Shorins were respected among the townspeople. Coming out of the common people they knew the price of hard work and every penny earned. The Shorins themselves treated the ordinary workers with respect. They were strict, but fair. They never raised the tone of voice. He built a wooden house, not very big, but with beautiful design. Its decor was complemented by a glazed veranda. It was in this house that the hanger you were looking at once hung. It is small but decorated with curved, metal holders. The fate of this hanger is like a detective story. When it was taken out of the house, for some time it was used by the family of the heirs of Mikhail Alexandrovich Shorin. In the early 70s the granddaughter of Mikhail Alexandrovich handed the hanger to the folk museum of the city of Gorokhovets, which at that time was just opening. But something went wrong. And soon the Shorin heiress saw the thing formerly owned by her in the reception of the city council. This could only happen if it was not accepted into the fund. Already at that time in the folk museum they were very serious about the antiques donated by the townspeople. Why the contrary happened is a big mystery. We can say that the hanger returned home in October 2017 to the new guest exhibition in the Museum of Technical Thought ‘Marfa Posadnitsa’, which is dedicated to the forgotten today boiler industry of the Gorokhovets sheading.
