Museum of Peasant Farm And Machinery

To maintain the evidence to the next generations on typical Zemgale peasant farm, the collective farm “Uzvara” in 1975 started to arrange an open-air museum. Dwelling house, threshing barn, two granaries, cattle shed and smithy were taken to the museum territory and rebuilt.

Furniture, tableware, clothes and tools placed in buildings reflect working and living conditions of peasants and rural artisans in Zemgale in the first part of the 20th century. The second important exposition part is devoted to machinery, especially agricultural machinery. Cars entered the museum a little later. Currently, the exhibition features cars, trucks, and fire trucks, various agricultural machinery, motorcycles, and engines, totaling more than 100 pieces of equipment. Most of the cars and agricultural machinery are operational.
