The first stage of the local history museum in Nova Ladoga will be dedicated to the Ladoga flotilla

The regional committee for the preservation of cultural heritage said that in Nova Ladoga, the first stage of the local history museum is being prepared for the opening in the mansion of the merchant Timofeev on Pionerska Street. In January, the first floor will be open to visitors.

The exposition will be dedicated to the history of the famous Ladoga military flotilla. Work was carried out on the national project “Family”. Also due to this national project, an exhibition hall was equipped. During the year, museum workers will fill it with items from storage rooms. Many of them were donated at different times to the local history museum by local residents.

The second stage of the museum will open later. The exposition on the second floor of the building will be dedicated to the “golden age” of New Ladoga. This is the period from the second half of the XIX century to the beginning of the twentieth century.

Earlier, "MK in the Leningrad region" said that in Novaya Ladoga will install a memorial sign in honor of Vice-Admiral Cherokov, commander of the Red Banner Ladoga flotilla during the Great Patriotic War.
