It was the second of the Transvaal gold fields, attracting a rush of prospectors in 1873, soon after the MacMac diggings started some 5 kilometres (3.1 mi) away.

Pilgrim’s Rest (Afrikaans: Pelgrimsrus) is a small town in the Mpumalanga province of South Africa which is protected as a provincial heritage site.

DSC_7819

Pilgrim’s Rest. In the 1880s the alluvial gold dwindled and prospectors were attracted to Barberton's newly discovered gold deposits. Towards the end of the 19th century claims were bought up and underground mining started by the company known as TGME.

DSC_7820

Mining was closed down in 1971 and the village was sold to the government as a national museum. Transvaal Gold Minings Estates, currently part of the listed Simmers and Jack, started gold mining again in 1998.

DSC_7823

The town's original architecture remains largely unchanged since then, because the town was declared a National Monument.

DSC_7832

It became a provincial heritage site in 1986.

DSC_7833

On May 15, 2004, the site was added to the UNESCO World Heritage Tentative List in the Cultural category.
