Rocca al Mare - the shocking truth about farm life!

Almost all Estonians have been to the Open Air Museum, seen the beautiful homesteads, and probably dreamed of relaxing in such an idyllic place on a nice summer day. In reality, the life of our ancestors was anything but rosy. If we're being honest, a person accustomed to today's living standards probably wouldn't last a day in those conditions. As an example, outhouses only started appearing in farmyards in the 1920s - where did people relieve themselves before that? What were the considerations for marriage, what was hygiene like, and how were children raised? These are just some of the topics covered on this tour. But not just that - we'll also venture outside the main exhibits to see what else can be found in Rocca al Mare!

Did you know that you can book tours at the Estonian Open Air Museum with various guides, but many people's favourite Matkafy guide Mihkel also has his own old farm, which makes this topic particularly close to his heart?

Please note that for private tours at the Open Air Museum, a fee of 6€ + VAT per participant is added to the price of the private tour. This is the entrance fee for the ticketed territory.
