Heritage walks will be led by Mr Keith Martin around the Heritage Village.

Dynamite museum and heritage walks in Modderfontein are also to be a feature of International Museum Day.

The museum will be open between 9am and 12-noon and two heritage walks led by Mr Martin will take place at 9am and 11am on the day.
