Liliesleaf Farm, Museum in Rivonia, Johannesburg, South Africa

Liliesleaf Farm is a restored farmhouse and outbuildings on George Avenue in Rivonia, north of Johannesburg. The thatched room where the 1963 raid took place, the main house, and a conference centre now form a museum with exhibits, a café, and overnight accommodation.

The property was a key center for resistance activities against the apartheid system in the early 1960s. A police raid in July 1963 led to the arrest of ANC leaders and the subsequent Rivonia Trial.

The site holds collections of resistance artifacts, including the Freedom Charter and personal belongings of activists who worked here. These objects tell the stories of people who expressed their hope for change within these walls.

The farmhouse stands on George Avenue in Rivonia, in Johannesburg's Sandton area, roughly 20–26 km north of the city centre. The museum closed to visitors in September 2021 during the COVID-19 pandemic, and reopening was scheduled for September 2022. Check current opening status before travelling, as the closure and the trust's dispute with the Department of Sports, Arts and Culture affected access.

Nelson Mandela lived here under the assumed name David Motsamayi and coordinated resistance activities from this location. His time at the farm was kept secret from authorities.
