Story

Building is the Old St Anne's Public School, built in 1790 by Governor Jean Le Mesurier. The Alderney Society was founded in 1966 in the basement of the Island Hall. The States of Alderney offered the old school building at peppercorn rent. Volunteers renovated it and the museum formally opened to the public in 1970. (inferred from the source page)

Alderney Museum on Alderney is run by the Alderney Society, an organisation dedicated to the historical, environmental and scientific promotion of the island. The museum formally opened to the public in 1970 after volunteers renovated the old St Anne's school building, which the States of Alderney offered for its use. It provides history of the island from the pre-historic period to the present day and hosts lectures by knowledgeable speakers. —
