Departure to Konstantinovo — the homeland of the poet S. A. Yesenin, a travel excursion.
In the center of the village of Konstantinovo, opposite the church of the Kazan Icon of the Mother of God, the Yesenins' estate is located.
Here, in 1871, the poet's grandfather Nikita Osipovich Yesenin built a house where Sergei Alexandrovich Yesenin was born on September 21 (October 3 — new style), 1895.
Over time, the dilapidated grandfather's house was demolished, and a new, smaller one was built in its place in 1909. In 1965, the house-museum of the famous Russian poet was opened in this "golden log hut".
Over time, a whole complex of memorial buildings appeared in Konstantinov — the S. A. Yesenin State Museum-Reserve. But his heart still remains his parents' house, restored in 2000.
An excursion to the Literary Museum introduces visitors to the creative biography of Sergei Yesenin, gives them the opportunity to witness the events of the turning point during which the poet lived.
The exhibition will feature photographs of S. A. Yesenin from different years, his lifetime and posthumous publications, and personal belongings of the poet.
Next to the church of the Kazan Icon of the Mother of God is the estate of the last Konstantinovskaya landowner Lidia Ivanovna Kashina. Sergei Yesenin met the owner of the estate in the summer of 1916. At that time, he was already the author of his first poetry collection, Radunitsa.
Visiting L. Kashina S. Yesenin visited more than once and dedicated one of his poems to her — "Green Hairstyle".
After the revolution, the landowner's country house was used for the needs of the village, and in October 1969 a literary exposition was opened in it. By the 100th anniversary of the poet's birth, in 1995, the building housed the museum of the poem "Anna Snegina", which embodied both the image of the "house with a mezzanine" and the image of its owner.

The monastery originated in the late XII or early XIII century and was founded by Greek missionary monks who brought with them the miraculous icon of the Apostle John, painted in the VI century in Byzantium by an orphan boy. This image became the main shrine of the Theological monastery.
The village of Konstantinovo is a monastery compound and little Seryozha Yesenin was brought here by his grandmother to serve.
