Kruger house

This old Church Street house, now a museum, was home to President Paul Kruger for 17 years, and it has not changed much since the days when the irascible leader of the South African Republic dared to challange the might of the British Empire. The old vierkleur flag still flutters in front of the building, and inside are many original pieces of furniture and smaller personal items that belonged to President Kruger and his wife.

Also of great historical interest is the museum's exstensive collection of tributes - including documents, medals, ornaments and furniture. These items where presented to President Kruger and his countrymen during the Anglo Boer War by people and countries who were fairly sympathetic to the Boer cause.
