Tanais Archaeological Museum-Reserve

Tanais Reserve was created on the basis of excavations of the ancient city of the same name. It stores in itself unique information about the ancient civilization and is considered the leading scientific and research archaeological center of southern Russia. The main exposition of the reserve is formed by the sites of the ancient Tanais hillfort. And smaller finds are shown in the exhibition center. The reserve covers the chronological range from antiquity to the beginning of the 20th century.

Museum of the History of the Don Cossacks

In the city of Novocherkassk, Rostov Region, there is the only museum of the history of the Don Cossacks in Russia. Not surprisingly, the museum appeared right here, in the capital of the Donskoi All-Great Force. The museum complex includes several exposition rooms. So, in addition to the exhibition center and the Ataman Palace, the memorial houses of the artists Grekov and Krylov adjoin the museum. Every year, the Museum of the History of the Don Cossacks is visited by more than 175,000 guests.

The museum stores a fairly large collection of artifacts that survived even the days of the fascist occupation. Among the museum exhibits you can see Cossack suits, weapons, banners, letters, paintings, etc. In addition, the museum has a rich book fund and archive with valuable historical documents.

Stanitsa Veshenskaya

Small Cossack town Veshki has made a strange, not military merit, but literary. It was here that the famous Russian writer Mikhail Sholokhov lived and worked. After the death of Mikhail Alexandrovich in the village of Veshenskaya in his honor the state museum-reserve was founded, which is still the only one in Russia. The museum keeps personal belongings of the writer, letters, manuscripts, household items, etc. Every year at the Veshenskaya literary and folklore festival "Sholokhov Spring" is held.

Sholokhov's famous epic "Quiet Flows the Don", which unfolds a panorama of the life of the Don Cossacks during the First World War, was recognized as one of the most significant works of Russian literature. For such an amazing contribution to art, the author was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature. By the way, Sholokhov applied money to the construction of the school.

Rostov Reserve

In the south of the Rostov Region there is a unique reserve "Rostovsky". In 2008, it was included in the worldwide network of UNESCO Biosphere Reserves. The valley steppes of the reserve preserve the original natural beauty of the Don region. Here grow rare plants of the Red Book of the Rostov region, as well as plant species protected in Russia, for example, the tulip Shrenka.

The landscape beauty of the Rostov Reserve is due to the islands of Lake Manych-Gudilo. The island covers more than 4,500 hectares. It's amazing that here, on Vodny Island, there lives a herd of feral horses, which appeared more than fifty years ago. In fact, Mustangs to this day remain the only inhabitants of the island. And no one knows for sure where they came from here. Nevertheless, this amazing phenomenon is protected and is being studied.

Special routes for people of different age groups are laid along the territory of the reserve. The reserve allows you to enjoy the pristine beauty of the Don nature, which is its main value. The Rostov Reserve is definitely one of the most beautiful corners of Russia.
