But the family was big, they lived closeto each other, so in 1810 the young family, with the permission of V.V. Engelhardt, moved to the village of Moryntsi to Andriy Kolesnyk's house. The owner at that time was exiled to Siberia, and his house was empty. But the young family was restless. He escaped from exile and formed a detachment of well-to-do robbers. The leader shared the robbery with the poorest peasants and believed that the Shevchenkos’ should pay for the house and the land they used. Therefore, in 1815 Hryhoriy and Kateryna returned to Kyrylivka, where they first lived at Taras's grandfather Ivan Andriyovych Shevchenko, and soon moved to a house bought for 200 rubles from a fellow villager Pylyp Teteryuk, near his grandfather's yard.

The cradle is a symbol of Kobzar's birth. The house exhibits the utilities of the 19-th century, works of local masters of folk crafts. Stepping over the threshold of the house you will plunge into the world of childhood of little Taras.
These walls echo the historical past of Shevchenko’s region, the traditions and customs of the Ukrainian peasant family. A Ukrainian song sounds here and the millennial heart of the Ukrainian people is beating here.
Since 1992 they are a part of historical and cultural reserve „The Motherland of Taras Shevchenko”.
