“Lejas Kleperi” is a traditional rural homestead in Vidzeme, where generations of the same family have lived for more than 350 years. Over time, thousands of historical objects have been collected and preserved in two of the farm’s buildings. Each item carries its own story – where it comes from, how it served its purpose, and how it found its way into the collection. The main value of the museum lies in these stories, which the owners are happy to share.

Near the farmhouse, grows one of Latvia’s greatest ash trees.
