The museum is housed in Westville’s oldest building (c.1840) featuring massive stone walls and hand-hewn timber floorboards. Park like surroundings add an atmosphere of tranquility. Exhibits focus on the first German settlers that Jonas Bergtheil brought to Natal. Artefacts on display include household items and workshop implements, whilst photographs and records document the gradual growth and success of the boroughs as well as the role of these settlers during the South African War (1899-1902) and the First and Second World Wars. The museum houses a reference library with a considerable collection of South African Military history.
