Model Village, Moneymore

The model village, located off Main Street, was developed by Moneymore Heritage Trust in the late 1990s and is a 17th century, historically accurate scale model derived from Thomas Raven's 1622 map of Moneymore. As in 1622, the model buildings are placed along two intersecting streets with a market cross and stocks at the centre. The model village, complete with figures, depicts life in rural Ulster at the time of the Plantation.
