The museum was opened on October 23, 2001 at the expense of the Society of UPA soldiers in the USA named after Corporal General Taras Chuprinka.

The last headquarters of the commander-in-chief of the UPA was located in the museum building. The house had two floors. There were five thematic halls on the first floor. The second floor recreated the life of the UPA Commander-in-Chief during his stay in this underground apartment (spring 1948–1950).

An important historical object of the house was the hiding place located at the entrance to the attic, actually a partition separating the attic from the room with a double board wall. The entrance to the hiding place was made from the landing. It was possible to get to it from a separate entrance. It was this entrance that Roman Shukhevich used when he entered the last battle with the MGB units on March 5, 1950. The stairs have been preserved without changes. The interior of the hideout and the entrance to it have been restored, preserving all the proportions and originality of the building.

During restoration work, a bullet from a "Walter" pistol was found in a wooden wall opposite the entrance to the hideout. The hole from the bullet was at a height of 80 cm from the floor. The stairs, the hiding place, the living room became the main memorial objects of the museum.

On January 1, 2024, the museum building and part of the exhibits were destroyed as a result of a missile attack on the Lviv region by the Russian Armed Forces.
