The descendants of the Tran Quoc family have made many contributions to their homeland and country.

With its outstanding cultural and historical values, in 2018, the Tran Quoc family ancestral temple was ranked as a provincial-level historical and cultural relic. It is not only a place for descendants of the family to remember their roots but also a meaningful site for local history education.
The Tran Quoc family church was built during the 14th year of Emperor Bao Dai's reign (1939). The church's interior consists of three sections, each with a separate altar, all furnished with identical religious artifacts.
The central altar is dedicated to the founding ancestor of the Tran Quoc clan, the Grand Minister Tran (also known as Ancestor Tran Quoc Chan). Ancestor Tran Quoc Chan, a descendant of the 30th generation, was appointed by the Le Trung Hung dynasty to the position of Grand Minister of the Imperial Palace.
Next to the church are the memorial house and ancestral tomb, built in the style of a memorial house placed on a round cast concrete pillar.
In particular, recently, to preserve the sacred spiritual values associated with the formation, development, and contributions of the Tran Quoc clan to their homeland and country, the descendants have built the "Traditional House of the Tran Quoc Clan and the Clan Head's Family" within the grounds of the Tran Quoc clan's ancestral temple.
The traditional house displays over 100 photographs and nearly 80 documents, artifacts, and images about the Tran family in the historical flow of Ich Hau commune, with 3 main themes: homeland and origins; family traditions; honor, pride, and looking towards the future.
The first exhibition hall, "Homeland and Roots," features images of Bac Kinh village (Ich Hau commune) then and now, along with historical relics and cultural traditions of a heroic village that has given birth to outstanding individuals for the nation and the homeland.

The Party cell also has many veteran revolutionary cadres, heroic Vietnamese mothers, and more.
The second exhibition, themed "Family Traditions," showcases images of the Tran Quoc family, highlighting the fine traditions that their descendants have preserved throughout history, accompanying their homeland and country. The family boasts 16 individuals who have brought glory to the province's history; many of them are veteran revolutionary cadres and members of the first generation of Party members in Ha Tinh province...
