[1][2] The dating of the house as indicated in the National Register of Historic Monuments in Romania (LMI) is 1833, it being located on Ion Creangă Street no.

The tourist attraction holds a valuable permanent exhibition, reorganized thematically after 1989, which includes archival documents, letters, autograph postcards, photocopies of manuscripts, photographs and 14 graphic works.

The short entrance is sheltered from the torrential rains by an eaves a few hands wide, and behind the house a cover of rapidly sloping boards protects several household objects and agricultural implements of some ethnographic value.

[6] "I don't know what other people are like, but me, when I think about the place of my birth, at my parents' house in Humulești, at the chimney pole where my mother used to tie a rope with balls to the end, where the cats were playing with them, at the little hummed hearth, which I used to hold on to when I learned how to walk, to the oven in which I hid, when we, the boys, were playing, and other games full of childish fun and charm, it fills my heart with joy!"

Ion Creangă lived here permanently from birth until 1846, then intermittently until 1855, when he left for Iași, to study at the Socola Mică Church.

The house also hosts a souvenir store with autographed postcards, school textbooks ("New method of writing and reading"; "Children's education"; "Geography of Iași County"), graphics by Eugen Taru (12 works inspired by "Childhood Memories").
