The country estate

The country estate contains three yards: tidy, semi-tidy and cattle-yard with laid out buildings. The tidy yard contains double-tier bam, small bam, delivery compartment, kobrik (ice cellar).

The peasants of Angara region had the various farming. They were occupied with agriculture, hunt, carrier's trade.

In the villages along the river banks the main accessory work was the fishing. The manufacture of the hollowed out boats was the labor-consuming and expensive work. The masters selected the asp - the wild poplar, which were dried, hollowed out giving the boat shape. The boat blank was expanded with filled hot water and with progressive putting the transversal wedges.

If the boat was made not deep its boards should be built-up with planks. The fishing was made by means of sweep-net, “mug”. The big fish was catching by fire torch using the fish-spear. The caught fishes were selling in the near-by villages and towns.

The exposition narrates about the epoch between XIX - XX centuries when the peasants began to use largely the manufactured tools: iron ploughs, sewing machines, separators, china plates and dishes and many other articles.
