We would like to say a BIG thank you to The Owner of Matjiesfontein, David Rawdon for letting us have this makietie in his town

David Rawdon come from a family of entrepreneurial spirit. David Rawdon's autobiographical note in the book "Logan's Way", by Robert N. Toms, well describes his early days and background starting out with a mobile store. Rawdon displayed the same focus and dedication as did Jimmy Logan, the first Laird of Matjiesfontein. David Rawdon purchased Matjiesfontein during the late 1960s, and, after detailed and loving restoration work, David re-opened Matjiesfontein in 1970.
