The official Massey Area Museum logo, adopted in 2022, was designed by Jayson Stewart of Laps In Judgement Studios. Inspired by a logging stamp, it features four major elements of the community's history: agriculture, forestry, mining, and Indigeneity.
"Great Museum! Very Informative. Massey Area Museum is a great way to spend an afternoon. There is a ton of information and interesting artifacts from the town and surrounding areas. Carolyn gave us a tour and was full of fun facts and history about Massey. They even have a nice gift shop with local artisan pieces and history books. We will be returning in the future and recommend a visit to anyone passing by."
