The Moonee Ponds Court House Museum, operated by the Essendon Historical Society, is located in a historically significant building designed by architect Samuel Edward Bindley. Originally serving as a courthouse from 1890 until 1975, it showcases elements of Victorian architecture and houses various local historical exhibitions.

Since its establishment as a museum in 1981, the facility has preserved its rich heritage, becoming a hub for local history enthusiasts. Despite facing challenges, including a significant fire in 2016, the museum continues to provide a glimpse into the past through its dedicated volunteer efforts and curated collections.
