Bideford Parsonage Museum

Step back in time at The Bideford Parsonage Museum, a beautifully restored 19th-century homestead where L.M. Montgomery — famed author of Anne of Green Gables — lived during her first teaching assignment in 1894–95.

This hidden gem offers more than a glimpse into Montgomery’s life and works; it invites you to experience the rural Island life that inspired her stories. Enjoy guided tours, historical artifact displays, seasonal events like the Strawberry Social, and insights into the region’s rich shipbuilding history.

Lovingly maintained by dedicated volunteers, the museum brings Montgomery’s world to life and welcomes visitors from around the globe to walk in her footsteps.
