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.

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!

Moses Lessard - Wilfred Lessard's Grand Father?

from Cloyne and District Historical Society

  • JACKIE BLEECKER said:
    Ken, Yes, this is my great-great Moses Lessard 1st (senior). He was the father of Moses Lessard II and Eli Lessard. He was indeed the grandfather of Wilfred L. Lessard, who descended from Moses Lessard II.
