The Literary and Memorial Museum of Lesya Ukrainka in the village of Kolodyazhne was founded in 1949 in the estate where Larisa Kosach spent her childhood and youth. After the birth of her two sisters and a brother, a so-called “housing” was built for all the children. Lesin "white" house. In 1890, when Lesya Ukrainka was already living in Kyiv, she was preparing her first poetry collection for publication in Kolodyazhny. The last time Lesya visited the village was in February 1907.
