Kreenholm: the history of the textile giant<\/h3>\n

Organiser: Narva Museum<\/p>\n

Nothing equals the Kreenholm factory – this enterprise, which roared between Narva’s foaming rapids with more than 10,000 workers, was unrivalled in Russia or Europe. In 1857, Ludwig Knoop (1821-1894) established a cotton factory on Kreenholm Island between Narva’s rapids that shaped the life of the region for the next 160 years. And although the machines no longer work in Kreenholm, the workers no longer bustle in the factories and the Narva rapids are only open a couple of times a year, the industrial architecture of Kreenholm is still fascinating, with its huge industrial park recalling the glory days of yesteryear. Amidst the monumental industrial architecture, visitors get a glimpse of the manufactory’s more than 160-year history.<\/p>\n

You can buy the book “Kreenholm”<\/a> in the Narva Museum shop.<\/p>\n

The history of bootlegging on the Northern Coast<\/h3>\n

Location: Tulivee Bootlegging Museum, Liimala<\/strong><\/p>\n

Organiser: Tulivee
\nin Estonian with voluntary translation to English<\/p>\n

After dinner at Tulivee (Firewater) restaurant on Liimala beach, visit the Tulivee Bootlegging Museum, where a local guide will tell you some exciting stories. It is the turbulent 1920s and 1930s, when the young Republic of Estonia has appeared on the world map. In Finland, however, it is the time of prohibition. The people of the coastal villages of Northern Estonia create a new industry in the economy of the newly born small country, despite the prohibitions: bootlegging \u2013 the Estonian version of the Cosa Nostra. The forbidden firewater becomes Northern Estonia’s most famous and dangerous export. The Tulivee Tourist Centre tells stories that actually happened in those dark times.
