The battlefield exhibits display trenches, fortifications, and military equipment from the Second Boer War through indoor and outdoor installations spanning multiple acres.
On December 11, 1899, Boer forces inflicted heavy casualties on British troops, particularly the Highland Brigade, during a major battle of the Second Boer War.
The museum exhibits highlight the experiences of both British and Boer soldiers, including personal items, letters, and photographs that detail their daily experiences.
