The Moonta Mines Model School was erected in 1878. The building now houses the Moonta Mines Museum, with thematic displays on the Cornish miners'
lifestyles - mining, lodges and friendly societies, sports and pastimes, death and hardship.
There are also extensive displays of costume, china, silverware, photographs,
memorabilia and a classroom furnished in c. 1900.
