Send Gift Baskets to Maardu, Estonia

The main part of Maardu is part of the Rebala nature reserve and this is where Estonian history began. Additional details about Revalia can be found further down in the article.

Ancient settlements, from their beginning in the Finnish Bay 9,000 years ago and continuing to this day, show that the history of settlements has always been about settling where nature goes. Without those rocks and stone walls and the remains of ancient tools the area would look very different. This time of year, you will find glaciers near the coasts of Estonia with a unique type of stone called Norwegian granite. These boulders were created over thousands of years and can be found near multiple rivers and lakes in the area.

So our boulders were ‘imported’ from Scandinavia. As you can see, all the local soil is strewn with these boulders. The Earth pushes up to the surface more and more stone traces of the post-ice age every spring when crops are planted here. That’s why all the work in the field is started here as well.

“The development of propaganda was started during the first Republic of Estonia in the 20s of the 20th century.” Their first mine was then completed and the first plant was built in 1925. In 1939, the plant’s construction was delayed due to the fire, but in 1940 the company constructed a new one. Maardu is a small village in Estonia with a plant, and if you look through news reports and pictures from the 1950s, you can see the volunteers staying there. Their food was meager and they lived in barracks, but they were happy to help rebuild the country after World War 2.
