About Bethulie
A historic farming town founded in 1872 and once a mission station from 1829, Bethulie played a significant role during the Boer War, hosting one of the largest British-administered concentration camps. Notable landmarks include the striking sandstone bridge over the Orange River, connecting the Free State to the Eastern Cape, the Pellisier House Museum, the oldest settler-built structure in the Free State, and the original mission building. Beyond history, the surrounding landscapes, including Oviston Reserve, Gariep Reserve, and Tussen-die-Riviere Reserve, offer natural beauty and tranquillity.
