The entire town of Pilgrim's Rest
was declared a National Monument in 1986 as a living memory of the early
gold rush days in South Africa during the late 1800s / early 1900s.
Since then a dedicated team of historians, architects, curators and special interest
groups closely monitor all developments and refurbishments in the village to maintain its historic appearance.
