FOR SALE
Robert Montgomery Wants to Retire
Lucy Maud Montgomery's Dreams ~ FOR SALE

The 134 year old house that inspired the Anne of Green Gables books is on the market for $345,000. Lucy Maud Montgomery's grandfather's house is no longer making money, according to the current owner, a descendant of the author.

Little has changed in the house since the author spent summers in Cavendish, P.E.I. and wrote about it in her stories.  Electricity and running water have been added.  Open to the public as the Lucy Maud Montgomery Heritage Museum, personal artifacts and private papers furnish the house.  It is the owner's hope that the province will change its mind and purchase the historic home.
