Living Kolga farm

At the exhibition “Every Little Step Counts” in Kolga farm`s barn-shed, all family members will find something to their liking – you can easily spend several hours there. 

Open all year round.

• During the summer season 23.04-28.09 every day, 10am to 6pm.
• During the winter season 29.09.-22.04. from Thu to Sun, 10am to 4pm.
  • The hostess introduces the farm animals and birds at 11am, 1pm, and 3pm.

At the exhibition “Every Little Step Counts” we learn what animals give us and what a responsible job it is to take care of them. We will compare traditional farming with modern consumer habits and, through games, discuss what reuse is, how to eat healthier, be more sensible with food, limit consumption and reduce waste production. Together we will try to find out what we ourselves can do to ensure that the world continues to exist – because every little step counts.

• Visits to the Kolga barn-shed are available to groups only by advance booking! This way we can ensure the best visitor experience for everyone. Thank you for your understanding! Please register your group visit here.
• Please visit the exhibition without outdoor shoes.

In the barn-dwelling and adjacent buildings you can during the summer season:

• have fun trying to harness a horse, milk a cow, pickle fish and sort vegetables;
• dress up as a mistress or a master of the house and see how well you can cook dinner in a cauldron, set the table, or make a ladder;
• wash clothes in a trough and practice carrying water with a shoulder-yoke in the yard; 
• sit in a rocking chair and finally give your legs a rest after a hard day of work in the house.

In one section of the impressive building, called the barn-shed, as well as in the courtyards of neighbouring farms, you can get acquainted with various domestic animals and birds.

The barn-shed on Kolga farm is a unique and distinctive example of rural architecture, but, unfortunately, the original structure was destroyed in a fire on the museum grounds in 1980s. The 55-metre-long building from Hiiumaa has now beet fully restored to its former glory.
