Village museum at Crihana Veche, with a storytelling host and the garlic-guarding custom
A tour told by the host through the history of one of the oldest villages in the country
Worth it for the host and for the stories of the village: one visitor says the past comes to life through them. Open on weekdays only.
Village museum at Crihana Veche, in the Cahul district, open on weekdays from 8:30 to 17:00. There are only two public reviews, but one of them says why the drive is worth it. The village has ancient vestiges going back to the Sarmatian period, and Crihana Veche is, per one visitor, one of the oldest settlements in the Republic of Moldova. The museum host is described as a storyteller who wins you over with her passion for the history of the village and for the traditions still kept today. From her stories comes the finest detail of all: every year, on Saint Andrew Day, the whole community gathers for an ancient and joyful custom, the guarding of the garlic. One visitor says it is moving to see how the past comes to life through the stories told there.
