About Carnarvon Museum
The museum in Carnarvon was built as a community spot for the Dutch reformed Church in 1907 but was given to the municipality and converted into a museum.
Situated in the town of Carnarvon near Loxton, here you can find a number of exhibits displaying the history of the area, antique items and even an old hearse used by the church.
There is a small stone house outside the museum which came from a farm and was moved here piece by piece by local tradesmen. The whole area of Carnarvon is lined with magnificent trees and littered with stone houses.
This interesting town is filled with history, an interesting fort, magnificent museum and fabulous walks.
