The Tammsaare Museum in Vargamäe is the writer's birthplace, which inspired him to write the novel "Truth and Justice". The museum includes the writer's birthplace, barn, cattle shed and sawmill buildings.

A.H.Tammsaare's father Peeter Hansen was an avid reader. Books were few and far between in the writer's childhood home, the Bible being the main reading material. Later, a newspaper was also subscribed. My neighbour Jakob Sikenberg was illiterate but he loved it when children read books to him. On the museum night, we'll look at reading habits on Tammsaare's farms and see what books were in the writer's childhood home.

Visitors to the museum will also be able to taste food inspired by Tammsaare's work.
