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.

"Definitely a local treasure!  The Massey Area Museum is filled with local artefacts and the staff are knowledgeable. We took our Kindergarten class to explore the museum and participate in some hands on activities. We enjoyed looking at all of the exhibits and learning about local history. The staff were well organized and very accommodating and we had a great experience. Thanks! "

​​​"A friend and I were invited by relatives to visit this museum while attending a weekend of family reunion activities. I was very impressed by the size of the museum for such a small town.

The items displayed brought back memories of my parents and grandparents as I recognized having seen several items as being the same as I had seen in their homes.  This museum is definitely worth your time!"
