Leliefontein, was the first Methodist mission in South Africa in 1816. During the Anglo-Boer war the Nama people at Leliefontein were massacred and the settlement destroyed by Manie Maritz, who served under General Jan Smuts. This was to punish them for being sympathetic to the British and for their retaliation in attacking his party. The Leliefontein Methodist Church and parsonage is a national heritage site to commemorate the losses of the massacre.
The Time Capsules are an interesting recent addition.
