SCOPE AND CONTENT: The Ruth Farley Massey Collection contains a miscellany of Winchester, VA subjects, such as Apple Blossom Festival catalogs, programs from local plays, copies of presentations to the Century Club by Ruth Farley Massey, various school papers, and an autobiography of William P. Massey. The collection also includes personal items and papers belonging to Ms. Massey’s life through 2016 and genealogical information about her family from the early to mid-1900s. There are also records of Camp Rim Rock from 1949-1966 and items concerning Ridgewood Orchards and the Shenandoah Candy Company.  

BIOGRAPHICAL/HISTORICAL: Ruth Farley Massey is the daughter of Ruth Farley and William P. Massey Sr.  She was born and raised in Winchester, VA. The Massey family owned and operated the Shenandoah Candy Company, which operated from 1948-1994, and was located on West Amherst Street, Winchester, Virginia.

Massey graduated from Sargent College of Boston University in physical therapy and practiced in hospitals in Detroit and Cleveland. She later earned a master’s degree from James Madison University in South Pacific anthropology and advanced archaeological method. She then became director of residents of St. Catherine’s School in Richmond, VA.

Massey was active in the Girls Scouts of America, and she owned and ran Camp Rim Rock at Yellow Spring, West Virginia. After she retired to Winchester, she became active in the community as a board member of the local chapter of the American Red Cross and was a founding board member of the Blue Ridge Hospice. She is the author, with Julie Massey, of Living in a Continuing Care Retirement Community from the Ground Up (2014) which is available in the Archives Reading Room [332.024 Mas].
