The town of Perushtitsa is situated on the outskirts of the Rhodope Mountain, at a distance of 21 km from Plovdiv.
The historical museum in the town of Perushtitsa is situated in the very center of the town – opposite to the community center. It was established in 1955 to preserve a part of the rich history of this ancient settlement.
The complex includes four halls. The exposition of the museum traces out the course of development of the settlement from the Neolith (6000 years BC) to its contemporary look. The ethnographic exposition introduces the style of life of the local residents: labor tools, clothes, pots, jewelry.
Special attention is paid to the period before the Liberation (1878). Interesting items are the original revolutionary uniform from 1876, the gun of Spas Ginov (one of the victims of the Perushtitsa slaughter during the suppression of the April Uprising of 1876, who first murdered his family, then himself, in order to protect them from the grip of the Ottomans), the painting entitled The Defense of Perushtitsa by the painter D. Dobrev, personal belongings and guns.
