The best cycling routes around gmina Tarnogród

On September 28, 1939, a reserve unit of the 14th Infantry Division of the Poznań Army was disarmed here by the Bolshevik Russian army, with the help of local Jews. Approximately 40 officers and cadets were taken prisoner and murdered by the Soviet NKVD in Katyn in April and May 1940. Among the thousand names on the "Katyn list" are those directly linked to Tarnogród, including Major Kazimierz Kraczkiewicz – one of the pioneers of Polish balloon aviation – as well as Second Lieutenant Edmund Seroka, Lieutenant Arkadiusz Koźmiński, and Senior Constable Feliks Radomski.

In Tribute to 329 residents of Aleksandrów. Soldiers, partisans, women and children who died and were murdered in the years 1939-1944, during the pacification of the village, in the fight against the Nazi invader.

A monument commemorating the victims of the 1937 peasant strike, in which 15 people died. The difficult situation in the countryside in the pre-war period meant that members of the Peasant Party, led by their leader Wincenty Witos, were harassed and imprisoned for defending their rights. This forced Witos to leave Poland. This did not discourage the peasants of Majdan, who remained in constant contact with their leader and, after he and the Peasant Party Congress decided to introduce the Peasant Strike (August 16-25, 1937), implemented it in their area. On the last day of the strike, as a large gathering of peasants prepared to submit a petition to the state authorities, tragedy struck. The Blue Police used firearms against them. Fifteen people died on the spot, including a small child. To commemorate this event, on the 50th anniversary in August 1987, a monument depicting a man with raised arms protecting a mother and her dying child was erected at the site of the tragedy, by the road in the center of the village.

Monument dedicated to soldiers who died in 1939, victims of concentration camps, murdered in Luchów Dolny and Górne. Children, women, men who gave their lives for their country during the pacification and displacement action carried out by the Nazis on June 29, 1943.

The mound was built in 1935. The monument was founded by the residents of Luchów Górny, and was unveiled on the 144th anniversary of the adoption of the Constitution of May 3. There is a plaque on the mound with the inscription: "IN HOMAGE TO CHIEF T. KOŚCIUSZKA IN RESILIENTS" and the date May 3, 1935.

The obelisk is dedicated to the soldiers of the Polish Army who fought in the area of Podsośnina and Szostaki on September 14-16, 1939.

How attached the peasants were to their leader Wincenty Witos in Majdan Sieniawski is evidenced by the fact that after his death in 1945, at the initiative of the then mayor Mikołaj Marczak, a cross was erected in his honour, on which a lime board with the inscription was placed: "To the Leader of the Polish People Wincenty Witos - the peasants of Majdan Sieniawski". The cross was located at the entrance to the village, on the right side of the intersection. However, after a short time, on the orders of the Internal Security Corps, the inscription was removed from it. The current one, standing in the same place, was renovated in 1985 at the initiative of the local parish priest, and the removed inscription returned only in 2010 - on the 65th anniversary of Witos' death. It was placed on a new granite slab placed in front of the cross. Thus, the long-standing dreams of the Majdan peasants about permanently maintaining the memory of their leader and three-time Prime Minister of Poland, whose merits for the village and the nation have been repeatedly confirmed, have come true.
