Author Lucy Maud Montgomery was born in this humble little white-and-green clapboard house on November 30, 1874. Fans of Anne of Green Gables will thrill at the prospect of visiting the writer's childhood bedroom, and seeing her wedding books and scrapbooks; everyone else might feel a little underwhelmed.
