Anna Brigadere is one of Latvia’s best-known playwrights, poets, and writers. During the last ten years of her life, she lived in the former forester’s house in Tērvete, which was granted to her by the Latvian state in 1922. She named the home "Sprīdīši".
To mark the 135th anniversary of Anna Brigadere’s birth and the centenary of her literary career, a granite sculpture of the outstanding Latvian writer and playwright was unveiled on 29 September 1996 on Acacia Hill at the Anna Brigadere Memorial Museum "Sprīdīši". The sculptural portrait of the writer was created by sculptor Gaida Grundberga.
