In some cases they are still remembered by long-term residents; in others they have faded almost entirely from view and memory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this presentation, delivered by Trish Wood and Maude, we will highlight selected sites including Dagbreek Cottage and the Faerie Knowe Barn (Off the Road) in Sunnydale, the DIEC Cattle Station, the De Goede Hoop homestead in Noordhoek, the former Leper Hospital in Fish Hoek, and the Convict Station linked to the construction of Chapman\u2019s Peak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-events\">Events<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Admission is R20 for members and R30 for visitors. Family history enthusiasts are welcome to attend the Family History Club meeting today (6 June), at 18:00. The session will focus on using military records.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On Wednesday 24 June, at 11:00, the popular History over Tea gathering will take place at the Fish Hoek Library side hall. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The theme, Growing Up in the Valley, encourages participants to share personal memories and stories of the area.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Refreshments will be served and attendance is free. The museum will also be open to the public on Saturday 27 June, from 10:00 to 14:00.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more information contact: fishhoekvalleymuseum@gmail.com.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>ALSO READ:
