Lucy

LUCY MAUD MONTGOMERY wrote 11 of her 22 novels at home in rural Leaskdale, Ontario. Her personal journals tell her story. Here she wrote… and here she dreamed. The Leaskdale Manse was the first home the author could call her own. In 1911, she 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. She lived at the Manse for 15 years and raised 2 sons, Chester and Stuart. She became famous, for publishing "Anne of Green Gables".

Byam’s General Store

Byam’s store located in Tyrone, Ontario was a landmark for years. The building itself was built as a hotel in 1835 during the area’s pioneer lumbering days. Frederick Byam started his store in 1887 and moved to this location in 1894. Frederick’s son, Lionel, took over the store after his return from World War One. His son, Clifford, took over in 1965 and operated the business until January 2004. When Lionel died in 1982 many local people remembered that if it wasn’t for his kindness and generosity their families would not have survived the Great Depression of the 1930’s.
