history

In 1989 Vadim Vadimowitsch Mironov met the owner of the Yaroslavl cooperative "Decor" Anatoly Fyodorowitsch Gusew. They decided to buy a narrow-gauge railway and turn it into a museum. Mironov and his wife Kira financed the travel necessary for the research.

The museum was founded in 1991 after the “Decor” cooperative was dissolved. Originally it existed as a private collection with limited access for visitors, but with the possibility of arranging tailor-made trips in museum trains on the Pereslavl museum narrow-gauge railway .

The museum has been open to visitors for free since 1998, and an entrance fee has been charged since 2006. The number of visitors occasionally reached up to 800 per day.

In the years 2002-2004, the museum repeatedly organized locomotive festivals for a wide variety of visitors. In the years 2002–2003 the museum operated a regular passenger service from the Kupanskoe settlement to Pereslavl. Since 2006 the museum has only two kilometers of track.

In 2008 the museum received 480,000,000 rubles from the Potanin Charity Foundation (“ Меняющийся музей в меняющемся мире ” (German: “A changing museum in a changing world”)). With these funds, the access road was repaired, street signs and traffic signs were installed and appropriate posters were hung up. There is a parking lot at the entrance to the village.

At the beginning of 2009, the museum was the only railway museum in Russia that specialized exclusively in narrow-gauge locomotives and cars. The Sharja Open-Air Forest Railway Museum and the Yekaterinburg Narrow -Gauge Railway Museum were only opened five to seven years later.

In 2010, 200 meters of track were restored, with the superstructure and substructure being completely replaced. In 2011 the restoration work continued and to this day the entire route is about one kilometer long. It is planned to continue the restoration work on the track construction and the exhibits and to erect new protective roofs over the exhibits.

Exhibits

The museum shows vehicles from field railways , peat railways, forest railways and other narrow-gauge railways. Many of the exhibits are the only examples of their kind that have been preserved and are listed as technical monuments. Some locomotives, machines and mechanisms will be made functional again. The exhibits often need to be repaired. According to the director of the museum, the collection should no longer be expanded from 2012 in order to be able to devote more attention to the restoration.
