The State Historical and Memorial Complex "Lenin's Hometown" is a unique set of historical, cultural and architectural monuments of old Simbirsk (now Ulyanovsk).
The fundamental responsibility and priority of the Complex is conservation and restoration of old monuments. Our main aim is to give our visitors a vivid idea of a typical provincial town of the second half of the 19th century.
The Complex includes 10 museums and an Exhibition Hall. We have restored a fragment of the Simbirsk Fortress (the tower with a picket fence) and a part of Moscovskaya Street with a cobbled pavement.
The total area of the Complex is 174,3 hectares. The Complex was founded on October 2 1984 in accordance with the Decree of the USSR Council of Ministers.
