Crocmaz Museum of Ethnography
The famous Turkish traveler Evlia Celebi wrote about the village „… a riverside village well arranged with a mosque…”. Historical data confirms that this village is older than 1595 (1574-1579, but maybe even 1525), and the scientist Ion Dron stated that „...the name of the village is of Turanian origin and descends to a personal name of one master - owner of the village (possibly ethnic Turkish) after 1538”. Located on the bank of an important waterway, the estate of the current village has been populated with human settlements throughout millennial history. The Roman period, the era of migration of peoples left traces discovered by archaeologists in this land. 10 burial mounds and an old cobbled road have been preserved on the village estate. The traveler will be impressed by a lot of places with old Tatar names here - Togai, a tribal name of the Tartars, Alcalia, Iurtu - a place where the Tartars had their yurts, etc. In the meadow of the Lower Dniester, the meanders of the Dniester formed a lot of small but particularly picturesque lakes (Balta, Halbagiu, Togai, Nişaliu, etc.), which preserved the rich flora and fauna of the Dniester ponds.
