Mahtra Peasantry Museum Mahtra Peasantry Museum gives an impression of the life of Estonian peasants in the 19th century. „We must stand out for justice together as one – without being afraid and without succumbing,“ said Ants Tertsius in „Mahtra War“, a novel by E. Vilde. Today’s Mahtra Museum is not only the museum of Mahtra War but also the central museum of the county of Rapla. The place gives an impression of the life of Estonian peasants in the 19th century. The Atla-Eeru tavern building of the museum is the only preserved peasant tavern in Estonia. It has now become a cosy place where children’s’ programmes are organised. A blood field, the tragic scene of the final act of Mahtra War is located in the Mahtra battlefield.Come and see the picturesque spots of Juuru and discover the neighbourhood where the tough Estonian men fought. To reach the museum, you should follow Tallinn-Viljandi highway and on the Röa crossing turn towards Juuru - it takes another 10 km to get to Mahtra Peasantry Museum. Opened: 1. May – 30. September: every day 10–18 1. October – 30. April: Mon–Fri 10–18 Established: 1969 Collection: 35 340  | ||
