The Koopmans-De Wet House Museum was originally built as the home for a well-to-do Cape family during the late 18th century.
The house opened its doors as a museum in 1914, after the deaths of its last private owners, Marie Koopmans-De Wet and her sister Margaritha, and is the oldest house museum in the country. Marie Koopmans-De Wet, after whom the Museum is named, was well known during the South African War for her help to the orphans and widows of the Boer republics.
