K. Korovin's dacha (country house) is in the village of Okhotino of the Yaroslavl Region. In 1897, K. Korovin bought a plot of land from philanthropist S. Mamontov where by 1903 he built a house. There Korovin spent summer months; he was visited by friends: F. Chaliapin, V. Serov, A. Kuprin. The last time he came to the dacha was in the spring of 1921 and found it already ruined. In Soviet times, the house accommodated a school. The museum was opened here in 2015.
