Hyrax Hill
Historical Background
Located within Nakuru town, Hyrax Hill Museum depicts the lifestyle of
seasonal settlement by prehistoric people at least 3,000 years old. The
Museum is a former farmhouse ceded to the monument in 1965, by the Late
Mr. A. Selfe. A small museum was opened here where artifacts from the
Hyrax Hill site and other sites in the Central Rift Valley are
displayed.
Numerous sites around the hill belong to different
time periods with the earliest finds dating back to the Neolithic
period. There is evidence in the form beach sands that a fresh water
Lake once extended right to the base of the hill; turning the hill into a
peninsular or even an island. The mighty prehistoric lake is believed
to have covered the valley from Nakuru to Lake Elementaita about 8,500
years ago. Traces of it have been found at Hyrax Hill, the Wakumi Burial
Site, Gambles cave and amongst other places.
