The memorial house was inaugurated on the 24th of January 1959, on the occasion of the one hundred year anniversary of the Union of the Romanian Principalities, in the house where Ion Roată (1806 - 1882) lived in the hamlet of Gura Văii and moved to the highway linking the town of Panciu to Soveja. The restored house comprises objects specific of the family and social environment where Ion Roată lived and documentary testimonies relating to his activity in the Assembly of Moldavia (1857), as a deputy of the Putna peasantry. Ion Roată's personality, as a fighter for the Union and for the improvement of the lives of peasants, as well as the harmonious and expressive archite...ctonic features of the one-cell homestead, specific of Wallachia, make of this house a historical and museum landmark.
