Nevyansk, like Verkhoturye, is one of the oldest towns in the Sverdlovsk region.
Besides, it seems that Nevyansk and Verkhoturye can have something in common, because there are more differences? The foundation of Verkhoturye (1598) refers to the first wave of Ural settlement by Russia.
The foundation of the Nevyansk Factory (1701) marks the beginning of a new (industrial) stage in the development of our region.
Verkhoturye is a fortress, set on Babinov street, several posts for the promotion of Russian immigrants in the Urals, a kind of "gateway to Siberia", fulfill this role until the abolition of the internal custom Queen Elizabeth.
Nevyansky Plant, together with Kamensky, became the first industrial company of a new type in the region.
Verkhoturye, long the largest settlement in the North and Middle Ural, served as the residence of the king's governors in the province.
The Nevyansky plant was built treasury, and then moved to Peter I Tula blacksmith Nikita Antiufeev (Demidov) about possessive rights, for decades was the "capital" of the ministry of Ural Demidov. In XVIII - the beginning of XX century.
Verkhoturye is the largest center of the Orthodox in the Urals, while the Nevyansky plant - the center of Old believers is known.

But Nevyansk and Verkhoturye have in common. It is preserved in the historic center, although not in perfect condition, church monuments, military, traders and industrial architecture. Not surprisingly, at the turn of the XX-XXI century. these two cities have been examples of the active influence of local governments devoted to the research and restoration of the city's architectural monuments, raising the status of local museums, the promotion of historical heritage.
The restoration of Verkhoturye's historic monument began on the anniversary of its 400th anniversary, which was celebrated in 1998. Three years later, in 2001, Nevyansk recorded 300 years of its history, and the Sverdlovsk region - 300 years of massive Ural metallurgy. Both dates are limited to the restoration of the historic center of the ancient Demidov company.
Now, after nearly 17 years from the beginning of these works, we can deduce some results.
The immediate preparation for the 300-year anniversary of Nevyansk began on 24 April 2000, when the Governor of the Sverdlovsk Region EE Rossel issued a decree "On Recovery of Monuments of Industrial Architecture in Nevyansk City."
The restoration of Nevyanskaya leaning towers, the construction of former plant power plants, the restoration of the Transfiguration Cathedral and the creation of museum complexes on this basis and other imaginary monuments.
December 3, 2001 with the Governor's Decree No. 910-HS has decided to award the historical city-museum of local knowledge and the status of educational institutions "in order to create the best conditions for the preservation, study and use of immovable and immovable monuments from the history and culture of the city of Nevyansk , popularized the fund of historical and cultural heritage museums, the development of tourism-tourism business activities and infrastructure in the city Nevyansk ".
On 4 March 2002, the Local Government of Sverdlovsk adopted the relevant Resolution. This museum is known as Nevyansk State Historical-Architectural. During these years he was placed in a two-story stone building from a former school night (before the revolution - Gostiny Dvor). The first floor of the museum is occupied by historical exposition, which includes a large period of Nevyan history, from archaeological finds in the provinces to the Great Patriotic War. In the former school grounds that night, the exposition, a few years earlier, almost completely changed from the construction of the former Holy Trinity Church, which was restored to the faithful.
Not surprisingly, in the early 2000s, the exposition needs to be updated.
