Vidzeme Peasant's Homestead / Vidzemes Zemnieka Sēta

Vidzeme Peasant's Homestead / Vidzemes Zemnieka Sēta

The farmstead reflects the life style of an average wealthy peasant of Vidzeme in the period from the later half of the 18th century to the first half of the 19th century.
The buildings were grouped around the irregularly shaped courtyard with a dwelling house in the centre. Threshing barn was located on the hill, away from other buildings.
There were many buildings in the homestead because it was typical for Vidzeme to build a separate building for almost every household need.
Vidzeme Peasant’s Homestead was the first homestead, with which the Open-air museum was open to visitors in May 1932.

Sēta raksturo vidēji turīga Vidzemes zemnieka dzīvesveidu 18. gs. 2. pusē – 19. gs. 1. pusē.
Ēkas grupētas ap kopēju neregulāras formas pagalmu ar dzīvojamo ēku centrā. Rija uzkalniņā, tālāk no pārējām ēkām. Sētā daudz ēku, jo Vidzeme gandrīz katrai saimnieciskajai vajadzībai cēla atsevišķu ēku.
Vidzemes sēta bija pirmā, ar kuru apmeklētājiem 1932. gada maijā tika atklāts Brīvdabas muzejs.
