The first archaeological research of Baturyn had begun in 1995 and is still going on. Due to many years of excavations, many secrets, hidden in Baturyn soil, were unravelled. The invaluable scientific information was found, and the collection of the preserve was replenished with thousands of items of museum value. The archaeological collection became the basis for the creation of the Museum of archaeology of Baturyn that was opened in 2009.
Architectural-memorial complex "the Citadel of Baturyn fortress", built in 2008, is a full-scale reconstruction of the most fortified part of the town fortress 1669-1708., where the leaders of the Cossack state — Hetmans lived.
