Site of Lucy Maud Montgomery's Cavendish Home Review

The Site of Lucy Maud Montgomery's Cavendish Home is where the writer lived with her maternal grandparents after the untimely death of her mother. Though the foundation of the house where Montgomery wrote Anne of Green Gables is all that remains, the homestead's fields and old apple-tree gardens are lovely walking grounds. A bookstore and museum are also on the property, which is operated by descendants of the family and is a National Historic Site of Canada.
