Although Massawippi is by no means a ghost town, the village is a long way from the vibrant little community it once was.
A hamlet in Potton Township, Vale Perkins, or East Potton, as it was once known, was named after Samuel Perkins who settled in this vicinity in the 1790s.
Built in 1875, Potton Springs Hotel and its famous sulphur springs attracted thousands of guests from all over eastern North America.
