Mykyta Korzh Homestead Museum, Sursko-Mykhailivka

openas of 2026-09-262014Zaporozhzhia

A century-old cottage turned into a Cossack winter farmstead, in the village where the Zaporozhian Mykyta Korzh lived out his years.

Mykyta Korzh, whose Oral Account was written down by Archbishop Havryil (Rozanov) in 1828–1831, spent his last decades in Mykhailivka on the Sukha Sura — today's Sursko-Mykhailivka. In 2014 Oleksandr Plastun and Nataliia Semenova turned Plastun's hundred-year-old cottage into a homestead museum: the idea came from the history teacher Iryna Bizhko, and it all began with a thought of gathering exhibits at the house of culture. Inside the homestead there are old icons and an iconostasis, embroidered towels and shirts, crockery, paintings by Myroslav Dobrianskyi, models of historical events and copies of Korzh's manuscripts. According to publications from 2017–2020, the museum had no official status and no state money, tours were given free of charge, and a lunch of varenyky and korzhi was cooked if you let them know you were coming.

A private homestead without museum status; there are no opening hours and no telephone, and no recent news of it receiving visitors (2025–2026) has been found.
