The natural scenery, recreating the unique atmosphere of an old aristocratic mansion, artists of the Tula Drama Theater will present scenes from the Ivan Turgenev's comedy "Freeloader".

On this day, the guests of the museum-reserve will see: fair of crafts, contests and quizzes, bookstores and gift raffles, boating and riding in horse-drawn carriage.
