Ceres Transport Riders’ Museum

關於

The Ceres Transport Riders' Museum, more commonly known by its Afrikaans name Ceres Togryers Museum, was started during the 1970s by members of the community of Ceres, South Africa who were interested in preserving the heritage of the town. It was proclaimed a local museum on 7 November 1978 and established as a province-aided museum with effect from 1 April 1987. The Board of Trustees is the governing body of the museum with powers vested in it by the Government of the Western Cape Province under the terms of the Cape Museum Ordinance and is responsible for the institution, its policies, its operational continuity and well-being, and the assets which it holds in trust for the people of Ceres, to whom it is ultimately accountable.

The building in which the museum is housed was built as a flour mill during the early 1930s. The structure of the building was changed somewhat to accommodate the design by well-known Cape Town heritage architect Gawie Fagan.
