GRAAFF-REINET is bekend as die vierde oudste dorp in Suid-Afrika, en kan spog met \u2019n bewaringskultuur wat al geslagte lank gehandhaaf word. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Daarom is \u2019n kuier in di\u00e9 dorp nie volledig as jy nie by ten minste \u00e9\u00e9n van die vyf museums wat deel uitmaak van die Graaff-Reinet museumkompleks, gaan besoek afl\u00ea het nie. Die museums word vir die dorp deur \u2019n trusteeraad bewaar en ontvang ruim ondersteuning van die Rupert Historiese Huise Stigting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mid-Karoo Express<\/em> sal in die volgende paar weke \u2019n reeks artikels plaas oor Reinethuis, die Ou Biblioteek, die Ou Residensie, Urquhart-huis, en die Milit\u00eare Museum. Vandeesweek is Reinethuis, vlagskip van die museumkompleks in die kollig.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reinethuis, aan die onderpunt van Pastoriestraat, staan ook bekend as die ou pastorie, en word beskou as die hoofmuseum van die dorp. Die bouwerk daaraan het van 1806 tot 1812 geduur, en dit is onder andere bewoon deur die bekende ds. Andrew Murray sr. en later jare sy seun, ds. Charles Murray. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1906 is die pastorie ingerig as afrondingskool vir meisies, en later as koshuis vir onderwysstudente, maar die gebou het verwaarloos en teen 1944 is beplan om dit te sloop. AA Kingwill het gelukkig \u2019n stokkie hiervoor gesteek, en in 1952 is die bekende argitek Norman Eaton genader om restourasie van di\u00e9 gebou waar te neem. Op 21 September 1956 is die Reinethuismuseum amptelik geopen. Dit het aanvanklik maar min artefakte bevat, en het werklik eers lewe gekry toe \u2019n groot mat van die plaas Vrede aan die museum geskenk is. Mettertyd is nog skenkings uit die gemeenskap ontvang, en vandag is die boonste vlak van die museum ingerig as periodemuseum om so outentiek moontlik \u2019n weerspie\u00ebling van die 1812-1850\u2019s tydvak in Graaff-Reinet te wees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Die kelderverdieping van Reinethuis het ook \u2019n interessante geskiedenis. Die destydse pastorie het altyd \u2019n oopdeurbeleid gehandhaaf, en reisig-ers en besoekers kon hier oornag. Die museumargief beskik selfs oor \u2019n brief waarin David Livingston sy vriend, ds. Charles Murray, bedank vir die tyd wat hy in Graaff-Reinet kon deurbring. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2019n Berig uit die destydse Oosterlig<\/em> vertel van verslaentheid \u201csoos by \u2019n begrafnis\u201d wat die Graaff-Reinet gemeenskap getref het nadat sowat driekwart van die museum op 1 Mei 1980 deur \u2019n brand in puin gel\u00ea is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lede van die Round Table, studente van die onderwyskollege en ander dapper vrywilligers het die brand getrotseer in \u2019n poging om die waardevolle meubels en artefakte uit die brandende grasdakgebou te red. Vyf mense is in die proses beseer, waaronder die hoof van die brandweer, wat regdeur \u2019n houtvloer geval het tot in die kelderverdieping. Die gemeenskap, NG gemeente, liefdadigheidsorganisasies en besighede het egter saamgespan, fondse ingesamel, artefakte gerestoureer en die mu- seum herbou onder die waaksame oog van argitek Dirk Visser. Op 9 Oktober 1981 is die museum deur dr. Anton Rupert heropen. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vandag verskaf \u2019n besoek aan di\u00e9 museum \u2019n hele paar uur se vermaak aan oud en jonk. \u2019n Replika van \u2019n massiewe renosterhoring vertel die storie van \u2019n renoster wat in 1880 in die pastorietuin doodgeskiet is. Benewens waardevolle artefakte in die pastorie en kelderverdieping wat duisende verhale fluister oor vervlo\u00eb dae in Graaff-Reinet, is daar ook interessante plaastuie en \u2019n toegeruste ystersmidwinkel in die stalle te sien.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2019n Swartakkerdruif wat Charles Murray in 1870 geplant het toe sy seun gebore is, groei steeds in die pastorietuin.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
