Pilgrim's Rest is situated on the magnificent eastern Escarpment region of the Mpumalanga Province and was founded in 1873 when alluvial gold was discovered in the Pilgrim's Creek. The town dates back to ancient times when unknown black miners worked the quarts reefs for gold. The 1880s saw the end of the digger's era and by 1895 several small mining companies had almagated to form the Transvaal Gold Mining Estates. The historical buildings were restored and Pilgrim's Rest today, is a living museum, one of the prime tourist attractions of a scenically beautiful and historically fascinating region.
