Just outside Tartu is this sprawling outdoor museum set up on the grounds of what was the Ülenurme manor house. The museum explores every aspect of Estonian agriculture, from the old days of hand plows to modern horticulture. In an addition to antique carriages, harnesses and flax-making equipment, there's a re-created poultry shed complete with stuffed birds and recorded chirping. There are real, live animals here too (cow, goats, sheep, rabbits, chickens) and pony rides for little visitors. An extensive collection of old farm machinery (tractors and such) is lined up in rows in the courtyard.
Getting there: Take bus N°37 next to Tartu Kaubamaja (see Shopping section for details) to Ülenurme keskus stop (about a 15-minute ride).
