The family home of the famous writer Ion Creangă is made of wooden beams, and wooden tiled roof, dating from 1830. The Creangă family lived here until 1959. In 1944 Sofia Grigoriu (born Creangă) donated the house to the Association of the Teachers in Romania. The house became a museum following a 1959 decree and opened in 1960. The people involved in the organization of the museum exhibition were Z. Grigoriu (a descendant of the writer), and priest Cosma (the priest of the native village of the writer). It was restored in 1937, 1960, 1975, and 1988. The interior is a typical rural home with furniture and other belongings of the writer's family, postcards and school handbooks (..."New Method of Reading and Writing", "Education of Children", "Geography of Jassy County"), Eugen Taru's 12 graphics works inspired by Creangă's "Memories from My Childhood".
