As we rode the tour bus, they took us to the Green Gables House where Lucy Maud Montgomery’s first novel was inspired; Anne of Green Gables. This home is now being run as a museum by relatives of Lucy Maud’s. If you buy any of L.M. Montgomery’s books one of the relatives will even sign it for you. 🙂
The house itself is so adorable. It is amazing how simple we used to live. Mostly I’m speaking about the storage and closet sizes. Everything is so small. This particular home, Lucy Maude would stay here at times with her Aunt and Uncle and she was married here. Her mother died when she was two years old of and when she was 7 years old her father turned her over to her grandparents. Basically, she ended up spending a lot of time between relatives homes since her grandparents were older. She had a great imagination and writing was a way to express it.

We stopped at the Parks Canada L.M. Montgomery’s Cavendish National Historic Site. They have preserved her cousins’s house and some of the trails Lucy would play on when she was a little girl. These places were also inspirational for Lucy’s stories.

The last night of the tour we saw the musical – Anne of Green Gables. Wow, what and amazing production. Canadians aren’t like Americans, at least not during this production. They asked us not to take any photos during the production and NO ONE did! I was in disbelief! Usually, people just let those kinds of things go in one ear and out the other! I loved every minute of the musical. If you have read the book you know exactly what the musical is about.
Before the show.
