President Paul Kruger’s farm, Boekenhoutfontein, and the historic
buildings on the land were declared a National Monument in 1971. Kedar
acquired the property, in partnership with the President Kruger Trust and
the land around the museum has been incorporated into Kedar’s game farm. The
main Kruger House is a museum showcasing a wide range of Kruger memorabilia
and other items of historical interest.
