Decided to stop at this little town on our way back from langebaan, we visited the museum and participated in a little mystery trail . This was by far one of the best activities that we have done at a museum. We learnt a lot about the towns history and also got to tour the entire town on foot in less than 3 hours . Part of the trail took us to some of the towns tourist attractions like the darling winery were we purchased some delicious wine and gin . At the end of our trail we received a box of delicious darling candy . Well worth the trip .
Darling is one of the most beautiful friendliest place to visit on the planet. With great sights, best restaurants & brewery you can find. It is amazing that this hidden gem is not all over the news.I especially loved the Darling Museum as it offers a step back in time when things were a little simpler than today but hard living for sure with no luxury as we have it today.The chills I get when I walk through the old meromelia that was left behind that speaks a 1000 words in one picture. The simple oar of the craftsmanship that is seen with hand made tools. It will just blow your mind being there.A special thanks to the lady at the front desk and to all the people from Darling. Darling Brew, Café Mosaic & Ninas Place The Old Forge, which has a tremendous amount of old goodies to see. It is really wonderful being there.Well, more on great places and restaurants to follow. If you want to explore with me and see new recipes, Bnb, Hotels or just get away places Follow me on Facebook. FOODY HOT SPOTS & NOTS. For great crafts and ideas follow my Wife Brucheen on Facebook.

Curator was really helpful with info past and present.
Very well set out and interesting exhibits
Very informative and impressive.
Very interesting item in there dating back to the 1900 item I have never seen
We arrived after hours. There definitely will be a revisit
Perfectly done Museum. Nice service. The mystery tour was also fun to do.
For a realistic glimpse into the past, this is well worth a visit.This museum is in the old town hall. Its collections are based on contributions from the community, and have been carefully collated and arranged.
Little museum. some nice historical items. Nice stop to add if you are visiting Darling, South Africa
Wonderful memorabilia. Well preserved history of the quaint town. Kind hearted curator.
Interesting, adds to Darling being a special little town.
They really helped us
A quick stop in to ask for directions led to us staying a while longer... such a quaint little museum...enjoyed the walk thru, and so did the kids - the girls esp loved the barn and all the wagons etc... a little bit of history goes a long way...
Incredibly interesting. It was very well displayed and labeled. So many interesting items and pieces of history. Beautiful dolls and vintage clothing, kitchen utensils, post office items and many other things. There is a small shop selling souvenir items. The entrance fee is minimal.
The best I have ever seen for a small town like Darling
Wow, the best museum I have been in to for a very long time. Darlings history and assortment of donated items from local residents beautifully preserved and displayed. Took me back to childhood holidays on the farm.. Amongst many other things. Well worth the visit if you want to have a look at history... Well done Diane and all who help.. ❤
Great mystery trail around the town
This museum is rather white only it has a small section about other groups of people in the area, so at least it is there. But it needs work and could be bigger. I feel it is important to acknowledge all parts of our history, good and bad to learn from the, so that was disappointing.
A very interesting historical gem. My kids were fascinated with the artifacts and the history behind it. The musuem also offers cool activities like a treasure hunt which is definitely exciting for all ages...you get to win a R1000 and if you dont...a toffee for trying😊
Best display and well identified items. Best butter museum in Africa
Great exhibits that date back many years well displayed & marked! Good service & direction from the host & very affordable!!! A nice place to visit if you into history?
Very interesting experience. Look out for the non-adulterous soap.
Very nice. Well looked after with excellent display and friendly receptionWe enjoyed this experience
A lot of historical items and displays. Information can be given better. Allowing photos can help create more memories
A fun little trip down the towns memories. Go have a look at what Darling was, and how things have changed through the ages.
Nice slice of history
Very interesting and well maintained
Experience fantastic
Keep it up Darling,well looked after,lots of history,a must visit.
Lots to see and well worth a visit.
Very very well done. With the help of the local community they have managed to create a superb museum.
Charming character in a wonderful little town.
If you want to be transported into a time gone by in this great little village, the museum is a must! Be sure to visit the shed in the back for the old farm implements and vehicles.
Marvelous! We loved everything about it.Friendly and helpful staff, interesting information, very intriguing atmosphere and fantastic curios.
Excellent venue ,such history!!
Lovely little museumThey have managed to devide museum like different rooms in a house. Each room furnished as it would have been in early 1900. Brought back many memories of items we recognised from our youth. All beautiful done with relative information defnitely worth a vist
Probably not for everybody. But I enjoyed the part on the Romery and butter
Very informative and super interesting.
Amazing museum a little gem of old artifacts, very interesting a gold mine.
Not much to see.
Three displays following each other. Great collection
Simply loved this museum, it had artefacts, pictures, videos, the actual stuff that you can pick up or see from way back and I mean way back, my hubby got so excited because some of the stuff he could remember as a child that thing being in the kitchen and what his mum or granny used it for or items that was seen in everybodys bathroom or bedroom no matter rich or poor it was the norm to have certain things, the kids were so fascinated with the different type of phones available at that time like the nommer asseblief one😂 it was a pity we couldnt take any pics, but a revisit is a must, thanks for the memories
What a gem of a museum. Beautifully displayed and depicts life in the Darling of yesteryear
Informative and well displayed.
