Earthquake Museum

Located at 4 Church Street, the Earthquake Museum commemorates the devastating 1969 earthquake that left much of Tulbagh and the Boland region in ruins.

Housed in a beautifully preserved 1899 residence, the museum features a moving photographic exhibition documenting the events of 1969, alongside a rare panoramic image of Tulbagh dating back to 1861.

Visitors can explore interactive displays sharing first-hand accounts from survivors, offering a deeply human perspective on one of South Africa’s most significant natural disasters.

The museum stands as a tribute to Tulbagh’s remarkable restoration and resilience – a story of loss, unity, and rebirth that shaped the town as we know it today.
