Great places to explore in Bloemfontein and they're completely free. I really enjoy seeing zebras up-close without even planning for it. The museum is small but full of amazing arts. Very interesting stuff there.
Hilton Train Station by Harcourts Hilton
There has been a railway line at Hilton Station for almost a 130 years, but sadly now all that remains is just a shadow of its former glory. What once was a bustling station; with trains puffing up from Pietermaritzburg is now a version of a garden nursery consisting of only weeds and that of a quiet graveyard for some rusting leviathans of the steam era. The railway line down to Pietermaritzburg has been taken up and the line onwards to Cedara has been vandalised by persons unknown stealing the valuable wooden sleepers. The once small museum in the old original ticket office so you can see what it was like in those glorious bygone years when life was at a slower pace has since closed down. In those days It was encouraging to note that a working steam engine and also a working steam crane is situated at the station could be viewed hissing and puffing on most Saturday mornings. What remains is an eyesore to the Hilton community that breeds filth and crime. What do you want to see in its place - comment below!

The Old Prison Museum: From Colonial Age to Apartheid struggle in South Africa
The Old Prison in Pietermaritzburg is testament to the abuse of human rights in South Africa, and has exceptional historical significance for South Africa and its people.
In 2014, Formula D interactive, Cape Town based experience design consultancy, was commissioned by Project Gateway to ensure access to this important heritage site by producing a compelling museum experience. While maintaining the original layout of the prison built in 1862, and its harsh architectural features, Formula D’s design tells the important stories of oppression through the ages with engaging interactive displays and striking graphic designs.
The story’s protagonists include the most famous leaders and historical figures of their times such as King Dinizulu, Kasturba Gandhi, Nelson Mandela, Harry Gwala, Peter Brown, and A.S. Chetty, all of which had been incarcerated at the Pietermaritzburg Prison.
As visitors follow 132 years of prison history they learn how one of South Africa’s oldest jails was instrumental in enforcing the laws and ideologies of those in power. From the second half of the 19th century, the British used Pietermaritzburg prison to administer colonial rule and pressure indigenous people into wage labour. In the early 20th century, many Indian immigrants were incarcerated at the Old Prison as the government hoped it could silence protests against oppressive laws. Under Apartheid rule political opposition parties were banned, and its leaders criminalised, many of whom were detained in Pietermaritzburg. The exhibition closes with the first democratic elections in 1994, encouraging visitors to think about and discuss what role prisons should play in South Africa’s new democratic society.
To make this rich historical content accessible and appealing to a broad target audience, including youth and school groups, Formula D interactive implemented multimedia technology throughout the museum.
One of the main attractions is an interactive dialogue with one of the most famous prisoners, King Dinizulu kaCetshwayo. Impersonated by an actor and brought to life on a high definition display, Dinizulu is shown at his trial for high treason at the beginning of the 20th century. As visitors select from a list of the actual accusations, the character impersonation responds accordingly.
In the Satyagraha movement section of the exhibition, a large interactive timeline table invites multiple users to simultaneously explore the history of Mahatma Gandhi and the events of the Satyagraha movement.
In the Apartheid era section, biographies and political associations of prisoners can be explored through interactive cue cards. When these cards are laid upon a table’s glass surface, related content is projected onto the table. Finally, to encourage visitors to think critically about the role of prisons today, Formula D designed the “freedom game”, asking difficult questions about human rights, freedom and security. By storing visitor feedback on a local database, the app allows visitors to compare their opinions to that of past visitors. The permanent exhibition is an important destination on KZN’s freedom route, a round trip of sites relevant to the struggle for freedom. It attracts international tourists and local school groups alike and strengthens Pietermaritzburg’s attractiveness as a tourism destination. Built on the success of the exhibition, Project Gateway now plans to build a resource centre on the first floor of the prison block, allowing visitors an in depth look at some of the fascinating history that lies within the prison walls.
