Another important attraction in Verkhovyna is the Museum of Musical Instruments and Hutsuls Lifestyle founded by Roman Kumlyk.

It was suggested at first to rename it to Frankivsk, in honor of Ivan Franko, but the name Verkhovyna was chosen instead.

[5][3][4] The Opryshky movement[6] was a peculiar form of struggle and a manifestation of the spontaneous protest of the peasantry against the current system under the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth.

Many residents of Żabie were active in the detachments of Oleksa Dovbush, Pintea the Brave, Ivan Boichuk, Vasyl Baiurak, etc.

On this day, a new law entered into force which abolished this status, and Verkhovyna became a rural settlement.
