The Himeville Museum and Fort is both a historical site (the old fort, and prison) as well as a well-kept local history museum. , Each of the rooms is either a room in the house, representing the era, or it is dedicated to the life and times of the area: the prison, the telephone exchange, the school: the farming implements of the time. What makes this museum different is that it also represents the varieites of communities in the area: from the original inhabitants, the first people of South Africa, the Khoi/San with local caves able to be visited to see their representations there, through to the settlers and other people of the wider area, to the fauna and flora, clothing and the kitchens of the day: Open garden courtyard in the middle of the fort, shaded, and a bench to rest on - this is a representative and diverse museum that has something of interest to everyone, young and old, local and from all over the globe.
Reviewed By JoeBGsy
On a rather wet April afternoon we took the advice of a Tripadvisor recommendation and paid this place a visit. Pleasantly surprised at the sheer range of exhibits and the very helpful set up which apportioned the various themes in an orderly way. Staff were very helpful and despite arriving near closing time for the day we were welcomed and allowed to stay beyond the time. No charge for entry with donation box at the end. Well worth a visit if you have a spare hour or 2 available.
