The people of Avinurme have always loved their home. At times we perceive it as starting from childhood, and sometimes we only realise the importance of home when life takes as afar and some unknown force draws our thoughts back to the banks of Avijõgi River.
Avinurme is that special place with special people and way of life. Has been so for centuries. Our principles and skills have shaped our identity and lifestyle, which have made Avinurme into today’s capital of barrels, or as Osvald Tooming wrote more than a half a century ago – Kingdom of Barrel Masters.
To keep the local spirit alive and develop the skills characteristic to our hereditary culture, Avinurme Cultural Heritage Centre Foundation was established last year. The aim of the foundation is to enhance local life, exhibit, develop and support local way of life. The founders of the Avinurme Cultural Heritage Centre are Avinurme rural municipality, Avinurme congregation and Avinurme Society of Culture of Education “Nurmetuled”.
