Monument to the War of Independence in Kuusiku

The War of Independence memorial in Vara village was unveiled on 20 September 1925 and smashed in 1950. Unusually, every one of its broken pieces was later found again. Because nothing was missing, the monument could be put back together from its original fragments exactly as it had been, and it was reopened on 30 October 1988. What stands here today is therefore not a copy but the first memorial itself.

Eesti keeles

Vara küla Vabadussõja mälestussammas avati 20. septembril 1925 ja lõhuti 1950. aastal. Erakordsel kombel leiti hiljem üles kõik selle purustatud tükid. Kuna midagi ei puudunud, sai samba originaalkildudest täpselt samasugusena uuesti kokku panna ning see avati 30. oktoobril 1988. Siin seisab seega mitte koopia, vaid esialgne mälestusmärk ise.
