In 1975 an ambitious project to have an open-air museum was planned to be established on the farm Kleinplassie (formerly Roodewal). Some of the displays would be housed in existing early 19th-centuary farm buildings or in exact replicas. The project had the support of Breede River wineries and other agricultural organisations. Implementation started in 1978. Buildings that form part of the complex are: Coach-house Dairy Early Farm Homestead Horse Mill Kapstyl Huis - House Kraal Labourer's Cottage Lime Kiln Lye Pots and Raisin Court Shepherd's Hut Smithy Tobacco Shed Watermill Whip-stick Oven Wine Cellar Books and articles that reference Boland Farm Museum Complex, Kleinplasie - Main Building Fransen, Hans. 1978.
