Nõmme's former glory - from a small resort to an elite garden suburb!

We all know Glehn Castle and the fact that Nikolai von Glehn founded Nõmme, so we can skip those and focus instead on the magnificent villas and the rapid developments in the early times of the Estonian Republic. Admittedly, Nõmme transformed from a small resort village to an elite garden suburb precisely thanks to the continuous development work and thoughtful planning of the time. On this tour we visit the southern areas of Nõmme to admire that former glory. Even more excitingly, we'll talk about daily life during different periods through locals' memories, and observe some of the ambitious plans of the past. Not everything came to fruition, but we'll also explore the places where Nõmme's airfield was supposed to be, a new central square with a town hall, and - believe it or not - a hydroelectric power station!
