Tokat Atatürk House and Ethnography Museum
A house in Tokat where Atatürk stayed on three of his six visits, as the guest of his comrade-in-arms Mustafa Vasfi Süsoy, now a house museum.
About the museum
Mustafa Kemal Atatürk visited Tokat six times, during the years of the national struggle and after the founding of the Republic. On three of those visits he stayed in this house on Devegörmez Street in the city centre, which belonged to Mustafa Vasfi Süsoy.
Süsoy (1876-1934) was a soldier who had served as Atatürk's staff officer during the Gallipoli campaign and the War of Independence. He was with him aboard the Bandırma steamer, later served four terms as a member of parliament for Tokat, and was always close to Atatürk, supporting his work and ideas. Whenever Atatürk came to Tokat, he was hosted in Süsoy's home.
Atatürk's first visit took place on 26 June 1919, during the national struggle, and he spent one night here. His second visit came on 25 September 1924, together with Latife Hanım, and they stayed two nights. The house now presents that story alongside ethnographic displays from Tokat's past.
