Kotlyarevsky died in 1838 and was buried at the city's cemetery, an area later transformed into a park bearing his name. The memorial site underwent renovation in 1969 to mark the bicentenary of his birth and received recognition through UNESCO's acknowledgment of his literary importance.

The grave is conveniently located in central Poltava near other historical sites and is open to visitors year-round. Note that the site closes on Mondays and the last Tuesday of each month for maintenance.
Adjacent to the grave stands the writer's small birthhouse, a typical Ukrainian building from the 18th century with five rooms containing original objects and manuscripts from his life. The house was carefully reconstructed based on memories of those who knew Kotlyarevsky or studied his life.
