Leaskdale National Manse and Historic Church is home to Canadian author Lucy Maud Montgomery (L.M. Montgomery), best known for writing “Anne of Green Gables”.
She lived in North Uxbridge from 1911 to 1926 and wrote half of her books here, including a poetry book “The Watchmen”.
The Leaskdale Manse was the first home the author could call her own. Move through to step back to a time the author grew from a young bride to a mother of two, and built her writing.
The house is very well-restored and cared for and features the unusual 6 doors in the dining area, almost making it feel like a set for a mystery.
The dedication of the people who run this charming place is very evident. Every room is set up authentically based on Lucy’s own numerous photos of her beloved home.
The church is also very beautiful and has a stunning design that is a remnant of that period.
