PUSHKIN DACHA MUSEUM (Pushkin Town, 2 Pushkinskaya Street) is a branch of the All-Russian Pushkin Museum. It was established in 1958 in the one-storied wooden building, which had earlier belonged to Court Valet Y. Kataev, near the Lyceum and Catherine's Park (1827, architect V. M. Gornostaev). Pushkin spent here the first summer after his wedding, from May to October 1831 (memorial plaque). The house was extended at the end of the 19th century. It was destroyed during the Great Patriotic War of 1941-45 and reconstructed in 1949. The house was restored again in 1967. The ground floor housed a scullery, a dining room, a boudoir of the poet's wife, Natalya Nikolaevna, a bedroom and two guest rooms. The mezzanine floor housed a study. It was here that Pushkin finished The Fairy Tale of Tsar Saltan and wrote the letter of Onegin to Tatyana, and the poems entitled The More the Lyceum Celebrates..., Echo, Before the Holy Grave, To Slanderers of Russia, and Anniversary of Borodino. He prepared his Belkin’s Stories here for publication. V. A. Zhukovsky, N. V. Gogol, and A. O. Smirnova-Rosset visited the poet's home. A. O. Smirnova-Rosset described the poet's study in her memoirs.
