In Chlewiska there is a complex of the House of Creative Work "Reymontówka". The focal point is a historic manor house, built in the mid-19th century for the Różański family on the foundations of the previous one, dated 1807. The next owner of the estate was the famous ichthyologist Józef Helbich, who established fish ponds here. In 1926, the manor house together with 300 ha of land was bought by Władysław Reymont's widow, Aurelia, who allocated part of the money from the Nobel Prize that the writer received for the novel Chłopi (The Peasants) for this purpose. During her time, Chlewiska experienced the period of greatest splendor, including the addition of the eastern part of the manor house, a gardener's cottage and a new entrance gate with a fence in the Podhale style. On the orders of Aurelia Reymontowa, the park and garden were also tidied up, and a People's House for peasants was created in one of the buildings. In 1939, the manor house and its estate were bought by Feliks Tymieniecki, president of the coal company "Węgloblok". After several changes of ownership, the manor and park complex was purchased in 1981 by the Voivodeship Office in Siedlce. A House of Creative Work was established here, which is currently owned by the District Office in Siedlce. On May 20, 2007, "Reymontówka" celebrated the 200th anniversary of the manor house. On this occasion, a bust of Władysław Reymont was unveiled, designed by Jerzy Necl.

In the Węgrów Market Square by the Municipal Public Library, a bench was placed on which Master Jan Twardowski sits holding a magic mirror, there is also an open book in which a text in Polish and English is written translating the Latin inscription on the mirror frame: "Twardowski played with this mirror, performing magic arts, now he is destined to serve God". The bench was made from a cast by the Kruszewski Brothers Bell Foundry in Węgrów. It refers to the legends of the famous Master Twardowski and the Twardowski Mirror, which is located in the Minor Basilica in Węgrów. The mirror was donated to the Węgrów church in the 18th century by the founder of the church, Jan Dobrogost Krasiński.
