Housed in the mission station founded in 1875 by missionary Christiaan Schroder, the Kalahari-Orange Museum chronicles the area s natural and cultural history. The museum is home to the Donkey Statue, which recognizes the contributions that the animal made during the pioneering days of 19th century.
