The old cemetery in Dundee was in a very bad state and with the purchase of land to start the Talana Museum in 1982, the municipality decided that all the old headstones that were still there, except for 2 Indian ones be relocated to Talana museum where they would be looked after. Over the years many farmers have asked us to move family headstones to the museum to the for safekeeping – either because of sale of farm, land claim or no one left to care for them.
