Willem Prinsloo Agricultural Museum
The Willem Prinsloo Agricultural Museum preserves and presents South African agricultural history in a unique manner. The Museum showcases the history of the development of agriculture in South Africa from the Stone Age until 1945. It has a large collection of farming implements, tractors and animal-drawn vehicles. Visitors will find a historic farmyard (1880-1920) with indigenous domesticated farm animals like Nguni and Afrikaner cattle, Colebrook pigs, Painted Persian sheep and indigenous chickens. By prior booking, visitors can see and experience various demonstrations, including candle-making, cow-milking, roasting of coffee beans and baking of bread. Homemade jams, cookies, soap and Ndebele beadwork can be purchased at the Museum farm stall. There are two house museums and two Ndebele homesteads from different eras. The Museum distils and sells its own mampoer and liqueurs. An annual Mampoer Festival takes place at the end of May each year.
Two furnished farmhouses, one of which was built in 1880 and the other in 1913, are packed with interesting items relating to the way of life of pioneering farmers. Animals in the farmyard include Ngu and Afrikaner cattle, Blackhead Persian sheep, chickens and Colebrook pigs. Two authentic Ndebele huts add to the charm and authenticity of the setting.
Visitors will be able to enjoy a number of demonstrations, including the old-fashioned traditional methods of candle-making, cow-milking, coffee bean roasting and the baking of bread in the outside oven. The farm stall, Tant Kotie se Kontant Winkel, has a range of homemade biscuits, jams, chutney, hand-crafted toys, colorful Ndebele beadwork, mampoer and other liqueurs that have been distilled on the premises.
