The museum was founded at the initiative of the Cultural Foundation "Urmaşii razeşilor găzari de pe Valea Tazlăului Sărat", coordinated by the writer Constantin Parascan, born in Prăjeşti, who donated the land for the museum. Once upon a time, on the site of the museum was the farmhouse of the carpenter Alexandru Parascan (grandfather of Constantin Parascan), a farmer known in Prăjeşti at the beginning of the past century. The museum includes donations of original objects: minisection of archaeology and numismatics (with traces of prehistoric Cucuteni culture and coins from the treasures discovered in the area), minisection of documents ...and administrative documents related to the activity of the peasants sellers of kerosene, an ethnography minisection in which you find objects from the traditional household (the kitchen), but also related to the women's housework (the craft room), a minisection of religious objects and a church books, as well as a collection of wooden icons, the minisection of education (school textbooks at the end the 19th century and the beginning of the last century, donated especially by the Bibiri family in Cernu). The collection of the museum is complemented by an open-air section with objects reflecting the occupations of the peasants (carpentry, iron work, agricultural work, transport) and even a wagon with which they used to travel on their way through Moldova to sell fuel. Next to this section a traditional oil extraction installation, a hecna, as it is said in the area, was rebuilt. In the museum there are rare documents and objects: the plan for the dissolution of the Măgireşti and Prăjeşti estates drawn up by the cadaster of the village in 1856, using the "royal palm" as a unit of measure; an antimis from 1844, from the church of the Arini Valley, a splendid miniature box for sharing soldiers on the front.
