On the shores of the Pärnu river, a bit over ten kilometers from Vändra in the direction of Rakvere, sits one of Estonia's most famous farm museums. The farm features a flour- and sawmill with its own millpond. It was built in 1879 by C. R. Jakobson, a famous Estonian writer, newspaper editor and educator. The renovated watermill is a part of the Kurgja farm museum.
