Trip Notes
Home
Our first stop was the Wooden Architectural Museum. This is the remains of a Cossack fort and settlement from the early 1700s that have been preserved and restored.
The church was built later, in the 1800s
The homesteads were built by the Cossacks and each house was built like a small fort due to occasional raids by the Buryats and another nearby forest dwelling tribe. The girl is my guide, Natalie.
