The coal mining town of Dundee is located in the heart of Midlands Battlefields. Local historians offer guided tours to the famous Anglo/Zulu battlefields and monuments. It was here, at the battle of Talana on 20 October 1899, that the first shots of The Anglo Boer War were fired.

The Talana Museum is set on the actual site of the battle 2 kilometres out of Dundee on the Vryheid Road. The museum houses an interesting display on coal mining, an outstanding glass collection, a miner's house, and a Victorian farmstead which is furnished to serve as a local history and military museum.

The Consol Glass Factory in Dundee which is now closed was the oldest producing glass factory in the country.
