Worth a visit for those interested in the ZAR and matters leading up to the Boer war. Does show he lived a fairly simplistic life

The kids love visiting the train at the Paul Kruger House, I especially love the old furniture. The people who run the house is super friendly and very knowledgeable about every aspect of the House.

We visited this house many times during my school career, and although I would definitely return, I wouldn't feel safe to park a car nearby due to the area it is situated in. It really is too bad, because most of the 2km radius is full of Paul Kruger history.

This is a small museum, but it does take a good 2 hours to do it justice. It offers the visitor an excellent view into the history of the Transvaal republic and its last president, Paul Kruger, as this was his presidential residence. The furnishings and contents are well kept, many of which are authentically part of the building's history.... More

The Paul Kruger House and Museum has photos and artifacts that chronicle a key period of South African History. The museum is also near the building where passbooks were issued.

The house was very recently updated to its original outside and painting. When walking inside it sends shivers up your spine to think that the great President lived here for quite some time.

There was a train car in the garden; a storage garage in the back that had numerous memorabilias. The house was very small but it was filled with lots of museum pieces. It had photos of Paul Kruger and his family in it. It was nice to know the man who was honored in the Kruger Game Park!

They were refurbishing the house when I got there but, gave me a very nice private tour with one of their staff. It will reopen this Mon. To the public. Interesting to see a American wooden refrigerator there made by a American company. Saw the bedroom for the two adults, two children, and a guest too. Also, a bunch of... More

This is the original old corrugated iron house of the president of the ZAR before the Union came into existence. In July 2012 it is currently undergoing renovation so doesn't look like much at the moment. Perod building containing period furnishings
