Consisting of several buildings and spread over an 8ha section of farm on which the first major battle took place between Brit and Boer at the start of the South African war of 1899-1902, the Talana Museum is Dundee town’s main attraction and a worthwhile stop when visiting this part of the KwaZulu-Natal Province.
Two Smith brothers arrived from Dundee in Scotland in the 1850s and purchased a farm in the area. Large coal deposits were soon discovered here and the brothers began transporting the coal to Pietermaritzburg for sale at the market. They later laid out the town after establishing a coal company, and named it Dundee after their hometown. The area is also a chief cattle and sheep farming region and a large maize supplier.
The Talana Museum showcases the town’s coal mining and agricultural history, as well as the battle site and details of the impact the Smith family had on Dundee. Eight... Show more
