Nadezhda (farm)

"Farm Hope" - the state reserve-museum of I. K. Karpenko-Kary (Tobilevich) . Like the Tobilevichi Museum and Nature Reserve, it is a branch of the Kirovograd Regional Museum of Local Lore.

Created on the estate, owned by the outstanding playwright , theatrical figure of the late XIX - early XX centuries, Ivan Karpenko-Karom (Tobilevich).

The estate was founded in 1871 by the father of the playwright Karp Tobilevich and named after his wife - Nadezhda Tarkovskaya . Subsequently, I. Karpenko-Kary chooses the estate as a permanent residence.

At first, the Tobilevich family led a modest own farm. From that time on, the “House of the Father" and the old Chumatsky krynitsa were preserved . After returning from a three-year political exile, in the spring of 1887, Ivan Karpovich settled on a farm and decided to turn it into a picturesque corner of his native nature - in his own expression, “an oasis in the steppe”.

On the farm Nadezhda he wrote 11 of the 18 plays, which were included in the golden fund of national classical drama. This is “One Hundred Thousand”, “Master”, here he wrote the historical dramas “Sawa Chaly”, “Ganja” and others.

Not far from the farm, at the Karlyuzhinsky cemetery, Ivan Karpovich, as well as members of his family, are buried.

In 1956, Khutor Nadezhda was declared a state reserve museum. Since then, the institution has been working as a department of the Kirovograd Regional Museum of Local Lore. Its uniqueness is noted by many prominent figures of Ukrainian culture, including Yuri Yanovsky , Peter Panch , Oles Gonchar , Alexander Korneychuk and others.

In 1970, during the celebration of the 125th anniversary of the birth of Ivan Karpovich Tobilevich (Karpenko-Kary), with the participation of the most prominent modern Ukrainian writers and figures of the theater, the annual festival of theatrical art “September Gems” was established, which since 1990 has become All-Ukrainian.

In 1982 , on the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Ukrainian Theater of Luminaries , the playwright’s house was restored, which was destroyed in 1944 . On the eve of the celebration of the 150th anniversary of the playwright, it opened a new theatrical, literary and memorial exhibition.

About 2 thousand objects are exhibited in the reserve-museum “Khutor Nadezhda”, a significant part of which was donated by the Tobilevich- Tarkovsky family.
