Driving to and around Tesselaarsdal with a dirt road day trip to Greyton and Genadendal

Tesselaarsdal is named after Johannes Jacobus Tesselaar (1748-1810), son of a German immigrant who was the first land baron after WA van der Stel rewarded him with 50,000 hectares (two farms near Hartebeesrivier, south of Caledon) for his work in the cavalry. He owned slaves, had a wagon maker, horses and developed agriculture. In a report done by the Tesselaarsdal Action Group (2009) it was explained that Hartbeesrivier was named Tesselaarsdal farm 811 to avoid confusion by the Post Office as there were two with this name and it included everyone on farm 811 and adjoining small farms that have been traditionally part of the Hartbeesrivier settlement. When Tesselaar died he bequeathed to his wife Aaltje van der Heide 38 slaves, 150 horses and other movable goods, the couple were childless. His wife continued the farm for 22 years and died in 1832. She died 2 years before slavery was abolished in the colony, bequeathed land to her slaves and those under the age of 15 were to be educated.
