To know more about the history of Modderfontein, visit the local museum.
The place of exhibition is situated in one of the town’s historic houses on Main Street.
Robbie Vermont, membership secretary of the Modderfontein Conservation Society, said the houses on Main Street belonged to the factory managers, including the Franz Hoeing Haus which belonged to the factory’s‘big boss’.
The architecture of the museum house was not changed since the factory days.
“The houses were built facing north, how houses were built in Europe, facing the sun,” said Vermont.
Community members who are interested in going to the museum will find it open on Monday to Wednesday and Friday from 8am to noon.
Thursdays mornings are for group tours.
Advance bookings are important for groups.
