    A nice small museum with a knowledgeable and dedicated staff who can tell you a lot about the local history. Located in an old railroad station. A lot of interesting exhibits, but looks a bit abandoned. Worth a visit with kids.

    The Kowie museum is very small but is filled with so much information about the area. If you love the Kowie, you really must visit the museum.

    Unfortunately the museum was already closed when we arrived in the afternoon. But we could still enjoy the outside. R20 entrance fee for pensionars

    Fantastic little museum in the old train station building. Well kept and full of local history. Certainly worth a visit for only R20.
