Yes, there is something ironic about using such an advanced tool as the Internet to publicize the lifestyles of our predecessors!
We would like to invite you to visit our Museum, which is located in the village of Cloyne across Highway 41 from the post office.
Admission is FREE, but donations will be gratefully accepted.
Here you will find artifacts from the pioneer days of our immediate area, including tools, clothing, kitchen and other household effects. Glass bottles, flat irons, a rolling pin made from a block of solid maple, photos and old catalogues are just some of the interesting items in this display.
We are developing a genealogical archive as well. Any additions to it would be gratefully accepted and acknowledged.
Our book collection features the 4th edition of the Oxen and the Axe, a collection of reminiscence of the area by local people which is for sale. The collection also includes other books about the area, as well as documents, newspapers, and magazines from bygone days.
The Museum is owned and operated by The Cloyne & District Historical Society, a group of individuals who are dedicated to preserving the history of the area. If you live locally you might be interested in joining. If you're going to be in the area, we would love to see you.
We meet on the third Monday of every month in the former Barrie Township Hall. Current Topics of Interest:
- The former Camp Mazinaw
- The one room schools of Barrie Township
- The abandoned cemeteries of the area.
- Local timbering in the past
- The Addington Road
