Pionier Museum, Open air museum in Silverton, Pretoria, South Africa

The Pionier Museum occupies the 1848 House in Silverton, the oldest surviving building in Pretoria, built of clay and local materials with a thatched roof and earthen floors. The farmstead also holds a wagon house, a traditional herb and vegetable garden, an orchard, a vineyard, and a cemetery with marked Mundt family graves and many unmarked ones.

The main building was constructed in 1848 and is the oldest surviving structure in Pretoria. It originally served as a waystation for travelers before being converted into a museum in 1975.

Guides demonstrate traditional crafts like bread making and butter churning that visitors can watch firsthand. Staff members wear period clothing and show how people carried out daily tasks during the pioneer era.

The museum is in Silverton, in Pretoria's eastern suburbs, and is run by Ditsong Museums of South Africa. The 1848 House, herb and vegetable garden, orchard, wagon house and vineyard are visited on foot, so allow time to walk between them. The Pretoria Boeremark, held on the grounds every Saturday from 5h30 to 9h30, draws crowds early.

The Pretoria Boeremark ran on the museum grounds every Saturday from December 2004 until July 2017, when it moved to a nearby site in Silverton. The farm's cemetery holds several marked graves of the Mundt family alongside many unmarked ones, and the Norseman mill can still grind wheat for fresh bread.
