Lucy Maud Montgomery's Birthplace, Clifton, PEI (New London)


The window on the stairway that Maud's mother, Clara, would have peeked out of to see her husband working at his store next door. She may have been cuddling baby Maud as she was heading down the stairs.

The Kitchen Window where Clara could have watched for Hugh to come home.

The room where LM Montgomery was born.

There isn't a lot that is remarkable about this place except to say that it is a sweet little cottage and I like it.

I learned that Father Bolger ("The Years Before Anne") from Stanley Bridge visits here every day.  Stuart, Maud's second son, never visited here until 3 weeks before his death.  It was "his first and last visit here."

Hugh John's store was located in a lot that is to the corner of the placement of this house.  The store was not a success and the building is no longer in existence. 

Why do I feel like I've been here before????
