Sightseeing tour of Shuya.
Shuya is famous as the birthplace of the "elected tsar" Vasily Shuisky, merchant dynasties, holy icons, the wonderfully beautiful Church of the Resurrection of Christ and Russia's tallest "candle" bell tower, which is 106 m high.
And also Shuisky harmonicas, Shuisky chintzes, Shuisky embroidery and Shuisky liqueurs were famous all over the country. The object of our pride, our history, was collected bit by bit here and is carefully preserved. The modest, cozy Shuya, which turned out to be away from the traditional routes of the Golden Ring, is like a rare book with intricate ancient text and colorful miniatures forgotten in the grandfather's closet.: it is waiting for those who will be able to open it and read it.
Shuya is not only the history of Russia, but also the tastes and traditions of Russian cuisine.

Since ancient times, highways from other well—to-do settlements, such as Dunilov, Ivanov, and Palekh, intersected in the village of Parskoye. And due to its convenient geographical location, the village of Parskoye has become an ideal place for large-scale trade! Since the 17th century, annual so-called Ivanovo Fairs have been held in Parskoye. Local rolls and redheads were sent by carts to Moscow.

The museum's exposition clearly shows the evolution of the tools that peasants have used for centuries (harrows, hand mills, mortars).
Hymns and songs were composed in honor of bread, rituals were performed, and holidays were organized. So, for a long time in the ancient village of Parskoye, the tradition of baking Parsky rolls has been passed down from generation to generation.
