About me
Kangari Station - a monument of local importance.
What is our monument today? Are we going to let it stay in our memory or we'll make it live again? Let's make this building alive again!
Kangari Station started its life in 1937, although the little train was traveling through Ropazi county already in the early 20th century.
Between wars Latvians breathed in it, it survived the Second World War, it was decorated to survive, it lived! And yet, in 2007, the station was closed.
What will happen now?
Now we'll make a living life in it - because it's in our nature!
