At the end oh 18thC in the Sliven neighbourhood
"Kloutsohor" was built the house of the Assenovi family,
where the great Bulgarian rebel - the legendary voivoda
(leader) Hadji Dimitar was born on 10 May 1840.
Here, in 1935, the first museum collection was
opened which grew into an exposition in 1955.
The birthplace is a small, one-storeyed , unsymmetrical
house with a wooden verandah, with the characteristic
construction and architecture , typical of the early
Revival period.
The traditional interior of the room where
Hadji Dimitar was born was completely restored.
So were the guest room, the kitchen and the wine
cellar, typical for Sliven.
