Farm Shed Museum

The Farm Shed Museum is a heritage museum and Copper Coast Visitor Information Centre located at 50 Mines Road, Kadina on South Australia's Yorke Peninsula. Housed in a purpose-built farm shed complex, it interprets the region's dryland farming, Cornish copper mining and Narungga Aboriginal heritage. Notable for its large collection of vintage agricultural machinery, interactive displays and the adjacent historic Matta House, it serves as the gateway to the National Heritage-listed Cornish mining sites of Moonta, Kadina and Wallaroo.

Visitors can expect a large indoor museum housed in a recreated farm shed with extensive displays of vintage tractors, harvesters and farming equipment, interactive interpretive panels on dryland agriculture, Narungga culture and Cornish settlement, plus outdoor machinery exhibits and a historic miner's cottage (Matta House). The site also functions as the accredited Copper Coast Visitor Information Centre with staff, maps, souvenirs and orientation for the wider Copper Coast heritage trail.

The museum documents the development of dryland farming on Yorke Peninsula from the 1860s, the Cornish copper mining boom at Kadina, Moonta and Wallaroo, and the displacement and continuity of Narungga people. Its collection preserves machinery and social history illustrating how agriculture sustained the region after mining declined, and Matta House (1863) illustrates Cornish miner housing.

The museum interprets the cultural heritage of the Narungga people as traditional owners and the Cornish mining heritage that led to the Copper Coast's National Heritage listing, reflecting the region's identity as Australia's Little Cornwall.
