Leaskdale Manse NHS – the Ontario Home of L. M. Montgomery<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n

LUCY MAUD MONTGOMERY<\/strong> wrote 11 of her 22 novels at her home in rural Leaskdale, Ontario, north of Uxbridge. Her personal journals tell her story. Her poetry reflects her feelings. Here she wrote… and here she dreamed. The Leaskdale Manse was the first home the author could call her own. In 1911, L.M. Montgomery moved to Leaskdale, a prosperous farming community, soon after marrying Ewan Macdonald. He was a Prince Edward Islander who had become the community’s Presbyterian minister one year earlier. \u00a0Montgomery lived at the Manse in Leaskdale, Ontario for 15 years and raised 2 sons, Chester and Stuart. \u00a0Parks Canada – Leaskdale Manse National Historic Site<\/a><\/p>\r\n

The Lucy Maud Montgomery Society of Ontario is a not-for-profit organization incorporated within the Province of Ontario. \u00a0The purpose of the Society is to bring together people who share an interest in the heritage of Lucy Maud Montgomery, particularly as it relates to her life in Leaskdale. \u00a0The Society operates the Leaskdale Manse National Historic Site<\/strong>, a museum which is open to the public. \u00a0It owns the Historic Leaskdale Church (the former St. Paul\u2019s Presbyterian Church where Ewan Macdonald was the minister from 1910 to 1926) and uses it in conjunction with the Manse to showcase the life of Montgomery in Leaskdale.\u00a0 DONATE<\/a><\/p>\r\n
