One part of Setumaa belongs to the South-Eastern part of the County of Põlva. Setu people are a peculiar national guild of the Baltic Sea region, which, living under the reign of the Russian Czar Empire, succeeded in maintaining their ancient language and traditions. It is advisable to visit Setumaa, when some traditional Setu celebrations take place. In the Setu Farmhouse Museum you can find out about farm architecture, old tools and rich handicraft of the Setu origin. In addition the variable thematic exhibitions are held all year round: from old to new, from handicraft to art, from archaeology to modern day. Folklore nights are organised and Setu anniversaries celebrated in the Museum; there is also the opportunity to participate in farmhouse work and cooking.
