Introducing Pilgrim's Rest
The town of Pilgrim’s Rest in South Africa's Mpumalanga province is a national mument. After it was officially declared a gold field in September 1873, the small town of Pilgrim’s Rest in Mpumalanga grew very quickly with people searching for alluvial gold. Towards the end of the 19th century claims were bought up and underground mining started by the company known as Transvaal Gold Minings Estates (TGME).
In 1971, gold mining in this region of South Africa was closed down and the village was sold to the government as a national museum. The Transvaal Gold Minings Estates started gold mining again in 1998. Pilgrim’s Rest's original architecture remains largely unchanged since then, due to the fact that the town was declared a National Monument in 1986. Pilgrim’s Rest is part of the UNESCO World Heritage in the Cultural category.
