Võpolsova is the hometown of the Setouese folk poet, storyteller and singer Anne Vabarna (1877–1964). She was illiterate , but mastered over 100,000 song verses by heart. The Setukese national epic Peko is based on their chants . On the site of the house where she was born, a granite memorial today commemorates her. It was made by the Estonian sculptor Elmar Rebane (1913–1984).
