In the renovated granary and cattle barn, the museum offers another display, “The Farm of Lejnieki”, about traditional farming methods on a Semigallian farm in the 1920s-1930s. The younger visitors should enjoy “The Rabbit Bath” display that features characters from the author’s famous nursery rhyme. In addition, visitors can explore the Plūdons Walking Trail.
