Kruger House Museum
Krugerhuis
The former home of Paul Kruger, president of the South African Republic (Transvaal). It preserves original furnishings and his private presidential railway carriage.
Kruger House was built in 1884 and was the residence of Paul Kruger, the Boer leader and president of the South African Republic (Transvaal). It is now part of the Ditsong Museums. The interior retains Victorian-era furniture and household items. In the backyard is the presidential carriage he used during his exile, which helps visitors understand the history before and after the Anglo-Boer War. Across the street is the Dutch Reformed Church, which Kruger frequently attended. It is on the western section of Church Street, about 1 km from Kerkplein. Entry costs several dozen rand.
