JOUBERT HOUSE

 

JOUBERT HOUSE

The restored Joubert House, one of the oldest houses in Montagu,
was built in 1853 by Pieter Gideon Joubert (Jr.). It is claimed that the
outbuilding was the first jail in Montagu. This domestic museum
hosted a celebratory lunch on 5 May 1880 and part of the original
dinner service used by President Paul Kruger on that occasion can be
seen in the dining room where the banquet took place.
