Stellenbosch - Dorp Museum

The Dorp (Village) Museum is a group of four houses dating from 1709 to 1850 which have been carefully restored and furnished in the original style, with gardens planted as they would have been at the time. The Schreuder House, built around 1709 by a court messenger of that name, is the oldest in town. The Bletterman House was built about 1789 by Judge H. L. Bletterman, and after his death became the residence of the local judge. The oldest part of Grosvenor House, a two-story building in Neo-Classical style, dates from 1782; on the left of the main building are the old slaves' quarters, on the right a shed. The O.M. Bergh House was occupied by Oloff Marthinus Bergh until his death in 1866.
