On February 23, 1928 the Manifesto to All the People of Estonia, proclaiming the independence of the Republic of Estonia, was read out on the balcony of the Endla theatre and Community building. Pärnu was chosen as the first place for presenting the Manifesto to the world and to commemorate the town's historic role in the creation of modern Estonia, this monument was unveiled on February 23, 2008, the day before the 90th anniversary of the Republic of Estonia. It represents a life-size replica of the balcony with displays of the Manifesto text in both historic and modern Estonian and in Braille. The theatre was badly damaged in World War II; its ruins were then destroyed in 1962 due to these historical associations and replaced by the Pärnu Hotel. The Administrative Director of the Provisional Assembly Jaan Soop delivered the texts of the Declaration of Independence to Pärnu. The declaration was printed and disseminated within a four-hour period. On the same evening, Land Council Member Hugo Kuusner read out the Declaration of Independence on the balcony of Endla Theatre. On the next day, a parade was held and the protocol on the declaration of Estonia's independence in Pärnu was drawn up at the City Hall.
