I visited this little museum with my mother, husband and 4 children. The hosts at the front were very pleasant and welcoming. The woman gave a lovely history of the author and the house.

While all of my children's many, many questions were being patiently answered by the older woman, the young girl showed my mother a video of the bedrooms because she was unable to climb the stairs to see the rooms herself. Purchased some books as souvenirs and each one was stamped with Lucy Maud's signature. Definitely worth the stop. (Edited to...
