Mahtra Peasantry Museum
The Tales of the Mahtra War and Its People
The Mahtra Peasantry Museum is situated in the historically rich and picturesque Juuru parish center. The museum’s permanent exhibition introduces the life of the peasantry in the 19th and 20th centuries and the Mahtra War, the most famous Estonian uprising against the Baltic German landlords’ dominance in the 19th century.
The museum’s most authentic part is the Atla-Eeru threshing barn tavern, Estonia’s only surviving peasant tavern.
