Introduction

The Kruger House Museum, built in 1884, is the former residence of President Paul Kruger of the South African Republic (Transvaal) and one of Pretoria's most significant historic buildings.

Kruger played a pivotal role during the Second Boer War and his legendary life is comprehensively presented here.
