"The home museum of Mart Saar is standing at the edge of Soomaa National Park. The ancestors of the composer Mart Saar settled down to the edge of the swamp in the first quarter of the 19th century already. The surname Saar was given to them around 1830. The composer, who was born into the family of a forester, spent his childhood here and settled down permanently at his father’s farmstead in 1932. The years 1932–1943 were the most productive ones for the composer and at that time the best of his heritage was composed. ” (Estonian Museums)

The Museum of the Kapp family was established in 1973 as a branch of Viljandi Museum. The museum is in a building constructed by Hans Kapp in 1926–1929 that became the home of Villem Kapp in 1938. The building was largely reconstructed in 1973 and a memorial plaque commemorating Villem Kapp was put on the building’s wall. The museum is on the ground floor. There are an exhibition room, a main hall, a bedroom, and a dining room, later redecorated as a music room. Most of the displayed furniture belonged to Hans Kapp, a part of it to Joosep Kapp. Villem Kapp composed most of his music on the piano displayed in the main hall. In the music room opened in 1998, there is a grand piano which belonged to Eugen Kapp.
