This Museum examines the lives of the Voortrekkers - the Boers (Dutch: farmers) who left the Cape Colony en mass in 1838, and trekked northwards in search of land away from Colonial rule.
It also commemorates the Symbolic Ox Wagon Trek of 1938 - the re-enactment of the original event that took place in its centenary year - and the history of the popular holiday resort of Hartenbos.
Exhibits include ox wagons, weapons, household implements, clothing, and other historic artefacts - many of which were donated during the Symbolic Trek. The displays are divided into ten halls depicting various aspects of the theme:
Preparing for the Great Trek;
Outspan (camping and relaxing) at the end of a day`s journey:
Repairing the ox wagons;
Building a laager (the traditional camp in which the wagons were drawn onto a circle for protection against attack);
How the Boers relaxed during the Great Trek;
Daily activities (baking bread, candle making);
Settling in after the journey (featuring family worship in a Boer homestead); and
The Voortrekkers Freedom struggle.
