The Ethno Park " Terzića avlija" is placed not far away from the center of the village, on a hill, beneath the beech forest. This garden represents a typical village garden from the past. There are two old Serbian houses .One of them is 100 years old and it is built of underdone bricks and four sides roof with tile called pepper. A family lived in one house and the other was for guests. During The Second World War, this house was a school. Hero Petar Radovanović was a teacher in this school. Today, Pupil's Home and The Center for Children Without Home are named by his name. There are a few more buildings in the garden (dairy, shed, a few new summerhouses and one house from logs where souvenirs are being sold) and a well, 12m deep, with cold beech forest water im memory of Gvozden and Milisav Terzić (uncle and brother's son). The Germans took them with eighteen more men from the village. They shot and hung them at the entrence of the village. (the place is called Zlakusa buffer stop). Now there is a monument in the shape of gallows to remind people on August 18, 1941. Milisav was eighteen. His uncle Gvozden gave him the houses in a last will, which you can read in " Terzića avlija". But, destiny wanted to end their lives on the same day, by the same hand.

The older house is adapted into the apartment with three rooms, in ethno style in case of village tourism needs. The house (where was the school, during The Second World War) is a museum. There are two rooms-one is an ethno room and the other one has many table showcases and it is planned for exhibitions with different subjects (for now these exhibitions are planned: Serbian domestic clothes, old books, old Serbian magazines, postcards, material from The First World War and from The Second World War, diaries from wars, old mail, Serbian stamps and money, stocks of Serbian banks from period of Serbian Kingdom, Serbian orders, uniforms and domestic clothes in photos, etc.). There are three summerhouses and the artificial brook with ponds (about 15 meters long) and with a plenty of place to sit where you can get refreshment.

On the 17th of July 2005, in "Terzića avlija", a founding assembly of the Ethno Association "Zavičaj", was held. The garden was provided for various manifestations in the open air, such as seminars, meetings of singing groups, national orchestras, literature evenings and presentations, art exhibitions, etc; in the cottage which is characteristic for this area, you can buy souvenirs, postcards, pottery and various products of national manufacture, and the realization of the big summer stage where folklore performances and similar manifestations and concerts will be held is in progress. "Terzića avlija" offers the possibility of organizing various small celebrations (up to 100 guests), tourists and other services.

"Terzića avlija" was founded and rebuilt by the great-grandson of Gvozden Terzić, the grandson of his nephew Milovan Terzić, with his family, his wife Gordana, his doughter Emilija and hi son Dušan. It was Saša Drndarević (he lives and works in Belgrade) who founded it during 2002-2005, in the memory of his grandfather Milovan and grandmother Slavica Terzić, Gvozden and Milisav, as for all the Terzićs in Zlakusa.

The symbol of "Tezića avlija" is the serbian soldier in the uniform from the First World War and in serbian peasant shoes. It is made of ash wood (in the natural size, 190 cm high) by the skilful hand of the young artist Lekić Miladin and by the idea of the owner of this garden Saša Drndarević. The symbol and the logo of this ethno park, that represent "the crossing over the paling", an old hurdle, which is the part of "Terzića avlija", are based on the photographs of Saša Drndarević.
