The Herman Charles Bosman Living Museum near Groot Marico is an exact replica of the school at which the famous writer taught in 1926. The school name was Heimweeberg School. The museum was erected in 1905 by the HC Bosman Literary Society who hold regular events at the site.

Bosman was one of South Africa's greatest author of short stories. He wrote over 100 stories about his beloved Marico bushveld area. One of his books, "Mafikeng Road", has been continuously in print since first published in 1947.

Herman Charles Bosman was born in 1905 and died of a heart attack in 1951.
