===Cannons=== Two naval cannons stand on top of a small hill which were presented by the Cape colonial government in 1840 to [[Adam Kok III]] who was the [[Griqua people|Griqua]] chief at that time. The cannons are fired during the town's [[Witblits]] festival held in April. These cannons may have been used during the various wars between the [[Griqua people|Griqua]], [[Basotho]] and the [[Boers]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.philippolisinfo.co.za/historical.htm|title=Philippolis 1822: The first settlement in the Free State|website=Philippolis|access-date=4 December 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130809024237/http://philippolisinfo.co.za/historical.htm|archive-date=9 August 2013|url-status=dead}}</ref>
