The house where Ataturk stayed during his visit to Muratli on June 3, 1936, has been turned into a museum.
According to the article titled "Immigrant Exchanges" in the Treaty of Lausanne dated July 24, 1923, immigrant housing was established in the present-day Muratli district center in 1934-1935 to settle some of the Turks who immigrated from Bulgaria.
In those years, Muratli District was a small village bagli to Corlu. Ataturk himself gave the order to build the most modern and planned village in Turkiye under the conditions of that time. The new settlement area would be located north of the railway, the roads would intersect at ninety-degree angles, and all houses would have gardens. Additionally, each household will be given 10 decares of land per person.
On June 3, 1936, Ataturk came to Muratli to personally see the newly constructed village project and the condition of the houses. During this visit, he was a guest of a family from Pazarcik Town in Bulgaria, across from the train station, and enjoyed the coffee offered to him while sitting in the garden of the house.
The house, located in the Istiklal Neighborhood, made of adobe and consisting of 3 rooms and 1 kitchen, was expropriated by the Ministry of Culture and Tourism and restored in accordance with its original form.
Today, the house, known as the Muratli Ataturk House, displays ethnographic local materials and photographs related to Ataturk's visit to Muratli. Documentaries about the liberation days are also shown.
In the monument erected in the garden of Ataturk House to commemorate that day;
"O fortunate immigrant,Do not forget June 3rd,
The greatest man of the country,
Was a guest in your home,
He offered love to all of you."
These lines are written.
