Notes
Nikol Duman House Museum and Ethnographic District
Located in the serene and picturesque village of Tsaghkashat (Ghshlagh), the Nikol Duman House Museum and Ethnographic District offers visitors a unique journey back to 19th-century village life in the Askeran Region. Nestled about 22 kilometers past Stepanakert, along the main route to Gandzasar, this meticulously restored site pays homage to the vibrant cultural and historical tapestry of the region.
Tsaghkashat, a village of approximately 200 indigenous residents, maintains a pastoral charm with its main occupations being cattle breeding and wheat farming. The community is also revitalizing its age-old tradition of winemaking, adding to the authenticity and richness of the visitor experience.
The museum is dedicated to the life and legacy of Nikol Duman (Nikoghayos Ter-Hovhannisyan), a significant figure in the Armenian national liberation movement and a member of the Armenian Revolutionary Federation. Born on January 12, 1867, in Tsaghkashat, Duman was a respected educator and activist. After graduating from the Regional School of Shushi in 1887, he devoted himself to teaching in various Armenian schools across the Southern Caucasus.
The Nikol Duman House Museum not only captures the essence of Duman’s life and contributions but also serves as a vivid representation of rural Armenian life in the late 19th century. The Ethnographic District surrounding the museum further immerses visitors in the historical context, offering a tangible connection to the past.
This museum is a must-visit for those interested in Armenian history, culture, and the enduring spirit of its people. It stands as a testament to the resilience and rich heritage of the Armenian community, offering an insightful and engaging experience for all visitors.
