This building is a dairy constructed in 1913 by local farmers, which, during pre-war Estonia, produced butter for export to England. The dairy operated actively until 1970.

The house features various museum rooms and several exhibitions showcasing the stories of prominent figures from the former Vaimastvere parish, Jõgeva parish, and the local region, along with documents and photographs related to local history.

A significant part of the exhibition is dedicated to the story of preserving the Estonian flag at the nearby Läänemardi farm.

Across multiple floors, the works of painter Osvald Lääne, who studied at Pallas Art School, are displayed.

Description

The ramp is located at the building’s second entrance, providing access to the large hall where visitors can explore the exhibition (either independently or accompanied by the building’s owner). The large hall is the only room accessible with mobility aids, as access to the next hall involves three steps, with no ramp available, and narrow doorways (70 cm) due to the building’s construction in 1913.

The exhibition features medals, trophies, and documents displayed in tilted glass-covered cases. Some of the items are showcased outside the cases. Currently, there is no audio guide available.

The exhibition continues in other halls, as well as on the second floor, which is not accessible by elevator. The staircase leading to the second floor has handrails on both sides, and the ceilings on the second floor are sloped.

The restroom is accessible via the main entrance, which is level with the floor. The restroom is spacious and has a grab bar on one side (on the right).
