In Pereslavl district there is one remarkable object - Pereslavl Railway Museum, is a private technical museum in which these samples were exposed to narrow-gauge railroad equipment, machinery and various mechanisms of the late 19th - early 20th centuries.
At the beginning of 2009, this museum was the only one in the whole of Russia, who has specialized solely on the narrow-gauge technology.
The base of the museum took place in 1991, when the building cooperative "decor" was bought Mironov Vadim Vadimovich. Immediately there was an idea to open a museum railway, after which Vadim and Kira (his wife) Mironov immediately began to look for the necessary amount of money to carry out their dreams. Initially, he began to act as a private collection with somewhat limited access to visitors, although there was always the possibility to organize a trip to the old vintage trains on the railway Pereslavl.
Since the end of 1998 was the opening of the museum for all to visit, although in 2006 a visit to the museum has been paid. Today, the number of visitors can reach up to 800 people in one day.
Between 2002 and 2004, the Railway Museum not once was the organizer of locomotive festivals for a wide range of visitors. In 2002 and 2003, the museum has actively supported the passenger regular service from the village and up to Kupanskoe Pereslavl. According to the available information for 2006, the railway museum is 2 km of track.
The exposition presents authentic examples of a narrow-gauge railroad equipment. Most of the exhibits have survived in the singular form, but they have the necessary certificates of commemorative monuments of historical art. A small number of mechanisms and machines have been restored to the state of maintenance of certain job functions.
Often there are situations when you need a mandatory repair items. Judging by the words of the director of the museum, the soon almost completely over the final acquisition of the collection, and then more attention will be paid to the design and presentation of the exhibition.
