The Museum of Every Day Merchant Life was founded in 1995 and is located in a late 19th century wooden house which before the Revolution was owned by a merchant family.  On display at the museum are many examples of wooden furniture which were produced in Kozmodemyansk. Many of the features of the house have also been restored including the wooden flooring, the tiled ovens, the parade staircases and the moulded ceilings.  The museum is run as part of the Kozmodemyansk Museum Complex.
