Why go
The Newtown Compound is one of the last surviving examples of municipal compounds for black male workers. The City Council built the compound in 1913 to house migrant workers who worked first for the Sanitary Department and then later at the nearby power station. The museum tells the story of Migrant Labourers who came to Johannesburg to find work.
