GRAHAMSTOWN TRAVEL GUIDE - EASTERN CAPE, SOUTH AFRICA

Grahamstown, Frontier Country, Eastern Cape, South Africa

Grahamstown was founded in 1819 and is home to Rhodes University (1904) and the Albany Museum, with collections of prehistoric and natural history materials.  The broad tree-lined streets and buildings of Grahamstown are the legacy of a time when this was the Cape's second city. It is well worth walking through the town's historic centre and visit the Observatory Museum, which houses one of only two Victorian Cameras Obscura in the world - the other is in Bath, England - with a magical mirror that reflects the town onto a large circular table.
