Hester Papenfus has been hosting visitors on a regular basis to the Sandstone Heritage Trust. We have given her an opportunity to give us feedback on the visitors that stop by from time-to-time.
Here is her first report:
WEEKLY VISITORS AT SANDSTONE ESTATES
8 March – 12 March 2010
On Monday 8 March we had Bettie & Percy Biddulphs from Frankfort for a visit on the Estates. They were on holiday in the Clarens area. Percy found the tractors very interesting, as he was a farmer for many years in the Frankfort district. His passion was farming with cattle & sheep. Percy recognized a lot of the tractors that he used to own years ago.

On Wednesday 10 March 2010, Sheila & Alan (her son) Lawon visited the Estate. Alan is from Boksburg – East Rand & Sheila is from Port Shepstone. Sheila specializes in tent making and is not planning to go on pension in the near future. The two of them enjoyed the morning at Sandstone. Sheila’s passion is vintage motor vehicles and Alan was astonished with all the locomotives in working condition at Sandstone. On their departure they left to go to the Natal Midlands.
