Särghaua history
Ancient Farm story
Farmer Tõnis Peterson (1846-1926) with his son Ado (1882-1968). Farmer Ado Särgava (1922–2008)

Geological Field Station (1971...)
In 1971, part of the farm's building complex, was purchased by the Institute of Geology of the Estonian Academy of Sciences.

In 1973, intensive renovation and construction work began, in which many employees of the institute participated. The goal was to develop the farm complex into a geological field station, where it would be possible to organize scientific meetings, store the drill cores and rock samples and to initially process and study them.
Gradually, buildings in danger of destruction (dwelling house, grain dryer, cattle-shed, barns) were conserved.

Earth Science Centre since 2015
The development of the Särghaua Earth Science Centre took place in 2012-2015, financed by the European Regional Development Fund and Tallinn University of Technology. The ESC was designed by AS Amhold and OÜ EMP A&I, and built by AS Pärnu REV.
