The living room of the Morozovs' house features furniture created more than a century ago by masters of artistic wooden carving.

The house used to belong to Pelageya Morozova, a peasant's wife from the Gorokhovets district.

Now, Morozov's house is the home of Marfa Posadnitsa Museum of Technical Thought, which recounts the formation of industry in the Gorokhovets district and its most common seasonal work in the 19th and early 20th centuries – making boilers.

The name of Marfa Posadnitsa Museum comes from the name of a barge. In 1907, the boiler plant of Ivan Shorin, the founder of the Gorokhovets Shipyard, built the Marfa Posadnitsa, the world's largest oil barge of the time. The barge was designed with a nearly flat bottom and a rounded bow that created almost no wave action. This made it possible for the barge to be easily towed by an ordinary, not too powerful motor ship. This vessel type is still considered a revolution in river shipbuilding.
