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.

    Terribly In-
    jured When Opening Box of Dynamite Caps.
    Edward Delyea, employed in a mine north of Flinton, was opening a box of dynamite caps this morning when they exploded, inflicting terrible injuries on him. He was rushed to the General Hospital in an auto, and Dr. Bogart at once operated on him, removing both hands at the wrists./ Mr. Delyea, who is frightfully eut about the face and body, is expected to recover, despite that he lost a lot of blood and is suffering gready from shock.
