Kapenguria Museum in Kakamega

A nice place to be... I recommend every citizen of Kenya 🇰🇪 to visit this place where it represents the land of hidden treasure you know (Westpokot )

A nice pkace to be and learn more about pokots culture and their way of living and most importantly about the kapenguria 6. Liked the place.

Its rich in history of the 7 great men who played a great role in kenya. Its nice place to the the culture of the pokot people for it have a detailed lise of all there culture.

Great independence historical place. A nice place to visit.

Simply awesome

Good place

Rich with ancient information and a cool place to have refreshments

Great showcase of local culture and preservation of historical evidence of the injustices to Kenyans by the colonial government.

This is a small museum mainly dedicated to the the former prison that hosted Jomo Kenyatta for some years after his jail time in Lokitaung prison, plus some history of the host Pokot tribe.The museum is quite small, with no parking in the compound - though parking in surrounding open areas is very safe (its within Government Complex in Kapenguria).Their articles are simple and straightforward, offering good glipse into the two subjects.Theres also a huge snake enclosed somewhere within 😬.....make sure to find it....

This is home to Kenyas independence story... Kenyas luminaries spent seven years incanceration here.Among the Kapenguria Six is Mzee Jomo Kenyatta, the founding President.This historical facility needs a face lift and aggressive marketing strategies to attract more visitors.

Curated kenyan freedom fighting history!

Is it opened from Monday -Friday

Great memories of the independence heroes, the Kapenguria six.

Part of the Kenyan archives

Highly informative on political history of Kenya and Pokots

This is a historic side where independence fighters were arrested, also its a place you will learn a lot about pokot culture.

Such a winsome place to pay a visit every holiday

Feels more like a skeleton that needs more flesh.. but whatever is there is well preserved

The weather was good.. No jam.. It was nice all together

A good historic site.

I dint find the museum well maintained to preserve the history that was claimed to have happened there...for instance the place where the big prison was goats are kept thereNo guide to take you through despite the fact that you have paid the entrance fee...It’s not worth the visit

Very beautiful place. Kapenguria six

A quaint and neatly organised museum. Kapenguria is best known for the infamous trial of Bikdad Kaggia, Kungu Karumba, Jomo Kenyatta, Fred Kubai, Paul Ngei and Achieng Oneko (aka Kapenguria Sixin 1952. Details of this important point in Kenyas history are captured in the Kapenguria Museum, located in the old detention centre where the Kapenguria Six where held for months. The museum also has artefacts describing the rich Pokot culture and several items highlighting Kenyas pre-colonial past.

Very rich in history

Great historic national museum

The most wonderful place in kenya come experience the hospitality

Kenyan politics started here

Great source of history on Kenyas independence struggle

Exciting.

Gives a picture of Pokot culture, The Kapenguria six and information on the struggle for freedom.Many may take this place as a prison but it is not, it was never. Its was more of a police station with cells, The six Kenyans were brought here just for Trials but later taken to a prison in in Turkana county.count

This a place where Kenyatta and others were jailed

Very organised place
