The Cloyne and District Historical Society (CDHS) owns and operates the Pioneer Museum and Archive on Highway #41 in the hamlet of Cloyne, Ontario, Canada. Since 1972, we've been recording and preserving the history of North Lennox & Addington and North Frontenac Counties. In 2022, Griffith and Matawatchan's areas were added to our catchment area. Our 3,300 sq.ft. museum now boasts archives, displays, books, photos, and literature. We also have a gift corner with detailed books about the area. The CDHS is an incorporated organization with charitable status. We operate primarily with volunteers and donations.

Village Inn (Shire House) - Northbrook

from Cloyne and District Historical Society

Kevin Stout said:
The store was owned by Eva and Rob Jackson from approximately 1940's until they sold it to the Mordak's in the late 60's. They then moved to "The Little House" next door, to the north. During the time the Jackson's owned it, there were many borders, including a doctor & office, general store, restaurant and general meeting place of Northbrook's most colourful citizenry. My mom (Jeanne Jackson) and Dad (OPP Good Stout) met there while he was stationed in Northbrook. I loved staying weekends & summers there during my childhood. 50's - 60's

Harold Ballard

from Cloyne and District Historical Society

Jennifer Lalonde said:
This is incorrect. This is my great grandfather Harold Ballard, not the same Harold Ballard that owned TML.
Cloyne and District Historical Society said:
Thank you for the information. We are now confused if Harold Ballard on Skootamatta did in fact own the Toronto Maple Leafs. I refer you to an article written in the Skootamatta Newsletter by Bob Blatchford (Edited by David and Jim Oborne) on page 9 which refers to Harold as the future owner of the TML. Is this the same Mr. Ballard? The article is here:

We look forward to your reply! Thanks!
