The house of Shevchenko's parents is located in the village of Shevchenkove in Zvenyhorod district.

"Together with the NGO Ecological Movement of Cherkasy Region, we have re-roofed the Shevchenko House and renovated the roof of the restored house of Shevchenko's parents with reeds. There are 40 objects and monuments of Ukraine's cultural heritage on the territory of the reserve (National Reserve "Taras Shevchenko's Homeland")," commented MHP-Hromada.

The Taras Shevchenko Literary and Memorial Museum has been operating since 1939.

"The house is recreated after a drawing by Taras Shevchenko. It was originally recreated to mark the 175th anniversary of the Kobzar's birthday. Then it has its own history, and this rebuilt house has been opening its doors to the public since 1993," says the director of the National Reserve ‘Taras Shevchenko's Homeland.
