Vormsi Farm Museum - Pears Farm
Vormsi Farm Museum comprises a restored farm complex originally constructed by coastal Swedes. It is one of very few remaining since World War II days. It showcases life on the island in the first half of the 20th century through photos and writing, and of course the memories of those who were born on Vormsi but fled to Sweden during the war. You will find tastefully renovated thatched roof buildings, photographic exhibitions and a wide range of everyday items from the period. There is also a traditional smoke sauna.
