Caledon Museum
The Caledon Museum is at 11 Krige Street. The house was originally built by Rev. Theunissen. He did not want to live in the rectory, so the building was used as a maternity home. When there was a facility opened at the local hospital the building was later bought by the Provincial Administration to house the museum.
The house at 11 Constitution Street, was bought in 1991 by the museum and was carefully restored. The curator referenced many old books and photos from the era. The Masonic lodge was also bought by the museum at about the same time, as the building had been empty for some time. It was restored for use as store rooms and offices for the museum. The Caledon family photographs are displayed here along with some antique items of furniture
The museum building dates from the Victorian period 1870-1900. All the inside woodwork, windows, ceilings, and doors were restored, however, some of the floors had to be replaced.
The museum also took over the management of the Caledon Town Hall.in Plein Streetthat was was completed in 1906. The town hall is a Provincial Heritage Site.
