If you love history and are not averse to learning how the Samarans lived at the turn of the 19th - 20th centuries, then it's worth to look into Alexey Tolstoy's museum-estate. It was opened in 1983 to the centenary of the birth of the writer. The house was built in 1881-1882 and belonged to Alexei Bostrom, the stepfather of the writer. After the revolution of 1917, the estate was nationalized and turned into an ordinary communal.

The farmstead was small - two two-story houses and an outbuilding. The owners lived in one of the apartments on the second floor, the rest of the room was rented. The future writer Alexei Tolstoy lived here during his training in Samara's real school. Later, as a student at the St. Petersburg University of Technology, he spent summer vacations in the estate.

The situation in Tolstoy's memorial apartment was restored in 1900 thanks to letters , documents and memoirs of the writer's relatives. Here a lot of things of that time. Old furniture, dishes, wardrobe items, accessories and much more have been preserved.
