Leaskdale Manse & Church

Our next stop was Leaskdale, Ontario, which was about 10 miles north of Uxbridge on Concession 7. 

L.M. Montgomery lived in Leaskdale from 1911-1926 before moving to Toronto. 

The Manse: Absolutely beautiful old house! The brick is all restored. 

Entryway-- love the colors! Thankfully, L.M.M. wrote down all of the details of her house in her journals, so they have been able to duplicate everything in the house. 

Library

Gog & Magog

Dining room: Which L.M.M. didn't like, because it was too small :)

Kitchen 

Spare bedroom, with the most lovely knitted bedspread :)

Upstairs hall 

The Church, which was just down the road from the Manse

 

Inside the Church

In the basement of the Church there is a museum with lots of pictures of L.M. Montgomery, and also pictures of the Avonlea Set 

And a poster for the show!
