Dullstroom: A journey to a village of yesteryear
Members of Mpumalanga Heritage were treated by the Dullstroom Historical Society on a conducted tour of the town and its surrounds on Saturday September 4.
This town was founded by Dutch immigrants to the Transvaal Republic in the 1880s with the purpose of establishing a wool-producing industry, which for many years it was. Much of the town was destroyed during the Anglo-Boer War, including the beautiful Reformed Church which still forms the centre of the picturesque town. The local museum is also a must to go to with your next visit to Dullstroom. The exhibitions, books and information here will easily absorb most of a weekend stay. Sites normally not accessible visitors were entered, which is always a bonus when exploring places as an organised collective, said Duncan Ballantyne, the chairperson of Mpumalanga Heritage.
