The Kruger house, built in 1884, was the original home of Paul Kruger, President of the former Transvaal Boer Republic. The house has been refurbished to reflect the time when the President and his wife, Gezina Kruger, lived there. International admiration for Paul Kruger and his struggle for freedom from British imperialism, his journey to Europe and his exile, are illustrated in the exhibitions.

Adjacent to the Kruger Museum is the former Bantu Commissioner’s Office building, erected in 1932 on the same site as the old Native Pass Office.

This building is remembered by the people of the Tshwane township as “gaMohle”. Its history of enforcing the Pass Laws dates back to 1896 when Paul Kruger’s government used the site for its police headquarters.
