The village of Shevchenkove (formerly Hyrivka) is located near the R-60 highway on the road from Konotop to Romny. Administratively, it is part of the Popivka hromada of Konotop district, Sumy region.
The first mention of Hyrivka dates back to the middle of the 18th century. The name presumably comes from the first owners of these lands with the surname Hyrionky. In 1689, Hetman Ivan Mazepa transferred the village to the Serbian entrepreneur Radych. At the end of the 18th century, Hyrivka became the property of the Lazarevsky landowners.
In 1859, the poet Taras Shevchenko came to visit the Lazarevsky family in Hyrivka. In honor of this event, the village was renamed Shevchenkove in 1923. A monument to Shevchenko was erected, and a museum was opened at the local school.
Село Шевченкове (колишня Гирівка) розташоване біля траси Р-60 по дорозі з Конотопа на Ромни. Адміністративно входить до складу Попівської громади Конотопського району Сумської області.
Перша згадка про Гирявку належить до середини XVIII століття. Назва імовірно походить від перших власників цих земель на прізвище Гирьонки. 1689 року гетьман Іван Мазепа передав село сербському підприємцю Радичу. Наприкінці XVIII століття Гирівка перейшла у власність поміщиків Лазаревських.
У 1859 році в Гирівку до родини Лазаревських приїздив у гості поет Тарас Шевченко. На честь цієї події село у 1923 року перейменовано на Шевченкове. Встановлено пам'ятник Шевченку, відкрито музей при місцевій школі.
Taras Shevchenko Museum
Museum / gallery
The Taras Shevchenko Museum was created at the educational complex of the village of Shechenkove in Sumy region due to the fact that the outstanding Ukrainian poet visited here in 1859.
In the then Hyrivka, Shevchenko stayed for several days at the estate of the Lazarevsky family. Here he worked on some poetic works, among them - "Oh, on the mountain the rose blooms". He also painted a portrait of the hostess - Afanasia Lazarevska.
The museum was founded in 1961 as Taras Shevchenko's school literature room. The main exposition is dedicated to Taras Shevchenko's connections with the Lazarevsky family.
Among them are photocopies of family documents, a portrait of historian Oleksandr Lazarevsky, and the memoirs of his son.
The ethnographic corner presents household items that peasants used during Shevchenko's lifetime: jugs, plates, towels, etc.
