Four buildings have been preserved and restored as museums to the life of Paul Kruger and the earliest farmers in the Transvaal. The oldest building is a cottage built in 1841 by the first owner of Boekenhoutfontein, a single-storey building with a thatched roof and stone patio out front. When Paul Kruger moved here in 1863, he built a new thatched homestead for his family, known as the ‘Pioneer House’. To its right stands the main homestead, a double-storey stone house built in 1872 in typical Eastern- Cape style. It contains many of Kruger’s possessions along with an assortment of period furniture from other homes. The fourth house, built for Kruger’s son Pieter, dates from 1892.

About Alan

My ethos is espoused in the words of Nelson Mandela: “I have fought against white domination and I have fought against black domination. I have cherished the idea of a democratic and free society. If need be, it is an ideal for which I am prepared to die.”

You will always find me standing on the side of the underdog OR HERE.

    This man was a great grandfather of mine. And now I live in Canada in a city that has a statute dedicated to the Canadians who died in the Boer war.
