Reviews of L.M. Montgomery's Cavendish National Historic Site (Loan Agency)

Awesome place if you are into history and/or Anne of Green Gables. It's beautiful. I highly recommend stopping in if you are in the area.

Prepare to be disappointed if you are expecting to see a second Green Gables. The only remains of the original homestead of Lucy Maud Montgomery's grandparents are the stone walls of the basement. It is a "hole in the ground.". But hey, it is what it is. It is the actual site where she resided with her grandparents. It's just that the actual building is missing. There are numerous interpretative panels along the path and at the site. The panels contain quotes from Maud's writing about her life here. People with limited mobility should take the path as you face the bookstore to get to the site.

This was an OK place to visit but I thought the awareness with respect to it being there was not adequate. In other words, street signage could be improved. I gave it a 3 only because there is not a great deal to do but in the world of education it certainly merits a 4.

A beautiful walk through the grounds of the property where Lucy Maud Montgomery grew up. This is a seperate (private) property to the National Parks site at 'Green Gables' and has a small extra fee. With the small fee to help keep the history of the site alive and maintain the beautiful grounds.

Very minimal, no home, just a foundation. Was nice seeing the foyndation of the authors actual home. The ground were beautiful. The bookstore very nice. Was worth paying the small fee just to hear the 5 minute history.

A delightful little piece of Canada’s literary history is tucked away in a quiet road near Green Gables. Montgomery lived on this land, worked as a postmistress, and wrote her first two Anne books here. The staff provide an excellent oral history of the Lucy’s mother’s family. The walk around the house ruins provides valuable insight into this important place that provided inspiration to Montgomery’s imagination. The bookshop has all of Montgomery’s books and other texts that provide information about her life.

Love that the Kitchen is back home ???? kind staff. Kind owners. Very loved. You will find peace when you are here...the same peace Maud Montgomery felt. Take a walk, enjoying your time while coming back to another era...feeling the love Maud felt for this place...the same place she wrote Anne of Green Gables while sitting in that very kitchen many moons ago.

I love Cavendish and everything about it being a LLM fan. This was my second time to visit. Seeing the damage left behind from Dorian broke my heart as I drove from Charlottetown to see Montgomery Park. When I got there it was pouring rain. I got wet and didn't care. I had to see the statue up close. It touched my heart, especially LLM looking up with the rain falling. Seeing trees down and other damage in the park made me sad. BUT, any time spent in Cavendish is precious to me. Bless its citizens as they recover.
