Welcome to the Massey Area Museum
Welcome to the Massey Area Museum!
The purpose of the Massey Area Museum is to collect, preserve, research, and exhibit these objects which will serve to illustrate the settlement and development of the Township of Sables-Spanish Rivers and Sagamok Anishnawbek, up to 1968, the year the museum was founded.
We recognize that understanding our local heritage is necessary to gain a better appreciation of community, province, and nation.
The Museum collects artifacts and documents that depict the area’s past in terms of the earliest native settlement, early exploration, and first white settlement, the part played by natural resources in our community (lumber, minerals, waterways), agriculture, education, religion, cultural achievement, manufacturing, trade and transportation, business and municipal political development.
The Museum provides for the preservation of such material as well as it possibly can, and for its availability to all who wish to see it.
Making HIStory featuring Ray Owl
Anishnabek elder Ray Owl has been tasked with rejuvenating the Fort LaCloche display at the Massey Area Museum. In this Make HIStory vignette, Christine Berry speaks with Ray about his choice in lumber.
Found near the mouth of the La Cloche River, which flows out of the lake into the North Channel, the fort was erected in 1783 by the North West Company, and later absorbed by the Hudson's Bay Company, according to a report conducted for the Ministry of Natural Resources by archeologist Thor Conway. It wasn't until 1889, with the advent of the railway, that a better location was found -- in Sudbury.
During its century-plus run the La Cloche post represented the main commercial centre in the region, with large voyageur canoes arriving via the North Channel and smaller craft laden with furs descending from the smaller lakes and rivers to the north. -Jim Moodie, Sudbury Star, May 31, 2015

Road Ready Campground Review | Chutes Provincial Park | Massey Ontario Canada
Road Ready Campground Reviews: Chutes Provincial Park Massey Ontario Canada. On our way back to the United States after the Fulltime Families Canada Rally, we broke up a long drive with an overnight at Chutes Provincial Park in Massey Ontario Canada. It was a beautiful park, with a waterfall, hiking trails, and huge sites. We only had electricity on the site, but there is water throughout the park, and a dump station on the way out.
Chutes Provincial Park is a recreation class provincial park in Sables-Spanish Rivers, Ontario near the community of Massey, Ontario, Canada. The park is named after a logging chute that diverted logs around the waterfall on the Aux Sables River. The waterfall is considered the main attraction at the park, along with the Seven Sisters Rapids found upstream from the waterfall.
Unlike many other provincial parks, its proximity to Massey allows the park to use the municipal water supply, meaning that water does not have to be boiled before drinking.

Sawyer-Massey 20-40 Kerosene Tractor - Canada Agriculture and Food Museum
As Canada's population grew, farmers felt pressured to produce more crops. As field size increased, farmers needed an alternative to horse-pulled ploughs. In 1918 the Sawyer-Massey 20-40 Kerosene Tractor was developed, replacing the use of animals to pull ploughs -- which required care -- and competing with the steam traction engine tractors -- which needed expensive fuel. The Sawyer-Massey company based in Hamilton, Ontario produced this tractor between the 1910s and 1920s. Initially, kerosene tractors were used mainly by farms in western Canada, where the fields and crop yields were large enough to make buying these giant tractors profitable. This Sawyer-Massey 20-40 Kerosene Tractor weighed 11 800 pounds (5350 kg), and cost $3500. The term 20-40 refers to the equivalent amount of horsepower that was produced off the drawbar and the pulley. Although this tractor provided significant advancement in farming methods -- being heavy and powerful enough to work large farm fields relatively quickly -- it was far from perfect. The lack of a protective covering on the engine and the open standing platform meant that both the engine and farmer were susceptible to heat, dirt and debris, and the steel wheels made for a very bumpy ride. Tractors have since changed in shape and size and are designed to be more efficient and comfortable for the farmer.
