CHAPUNGU
Chapungu Sculpture Park was established in 1970 by Roy Guthrie as the Gallery Shona Sculpture. Guthrie played a crucial role in promoting the work of Zimbabwean sculptors on an international scale. His efforts led to many exhibitions, including a touring exhibition titled "Chapungu: Custom and Legend — A Culture in Stone," which showcased the sculptures in various botanical gardens worldwide.
Cherokee Ranch & Castle
Cherokee Castle is a rare example of a 15th-century castle. Standing tall, and built of locally sourced rhyolite and petrified wood, the Castle houses a collection of world-class art, antiques, and rare books. It serves as a public host for an array of cultural, scientific, and civic events. The expansive property of Cherokee Ranch sustains habitats for native wildlife, flora, and fauna, embodying the heritage of the West.
