Art has become an important part of life here and a number of resident artists regularly display their work publicly in the local art and craft gallery and in their own studios. The Red Barn Gallery is the venue for larger exhibitions from time to time to which artists from elsewhere in the country are invited.
Jagersfontein Mine is an abandoned open-pit mine in South Africa located close to the town of Jagersfontein and approximately 68 miles (109 km) south-west of Bloemfontein. Since it was first established in 1888, two of the ten biggest diamonds ever discovered, the "Excelsior" and the "Reitz" (now called the "Jubilee"), were mined from Jagersfontein.
