Preserving Revolutionary and Cultural History
Kalofer has three museums all of which are dedicated to preserving national and local history.
- The Museum of Hristo Botev where one can learn about revolutionary history and visit the home of Bulgaria's renowned hero.
- The school museum, which is the site of one of the most important schools in Bulgarian educational history and where Botev's father taught. Here visitors can experience a fully restored classroom and cutting edge teaching techniques employed by Botev's father.
- The third and newest museum is the Kalofer History House, which aims to preserve the town's historic and cultural heritage. Exhibits include an antique loom where visitors can try their hand at weaving a traditional carpet, traditional dress and festival costumes, tools and musical instruments, and a recreated turn of the century living room.
