Simon's Town Museum

The Simon's Town Museum occupies The Residency building, displaying maritime artifacts, photographs, and documents related to local naval history and development.

The museum building served as a winter residence for Dutch East India Company governors during the late 18th century Cape of Good Hope administration.

Project Phoenix documents experiences of former residents affected by the 1967 Forced Removals, preserving personal stories through photographs and oral histories.

The museum offers guided tours, educational programs for schools, and research facilities, with contact available through telephone or email communication.

The collection includes naval memorabilia spanning 144 years of British Royal Navy presence, from 1813 to 1957, at the Simon's Town base.
