Although Halloween rarely appears in Lucy Maud Montgomery's writings, her journals offer us a little glimpse of how the occasion was celebrated in her own home.

On October 31, 1922, she wrote:

“...the boys came home from school bent on having Jack-o-lanterns made for Hallowe’en festivities tonight. I couldn’t disappoint them, so I went to work with two pumpkins and made jackies out of them ... We had our gate posts adorned with two fine fiendish jacks and we went out into the crisp moonlit night and raked up fallen leaves and had a bonfire.”

It sounds like a lovely autumn evening, with glowing pumpkins, fallen leaves, and a bonfire beneath the moonlit sky. 🍂🎃

However you may be celebrating Halloween this year, please take care on the roads and watch for little ghosts, goblins, and trick-or-treaters out enjoying the evening.

Wishing everyone a happy and safe Halloween! 🧡

As a season closes on Maud's island for all the sites she cherished, we are wondering ...

Who out there visited this summer and what was your favourite spot?

🍂 As the autumn sun sets over the LM Montgomery's beloved Cavendish Homestead, another season has come to a close. 🍂

The paths are growing quiet, the leaves quietly dance where Maud once walked, and this little Haunt of Ancient Peace is preparing for its winter slumber.

It has been such a wonderful season filled with kindreds from around the world. We loved hearing your stories and so loved making new friends and, best of all, watching visitors discover the beauty and peace of the place Maud once called home. 💚

Thank you to everyone who visited the site. We are very thankful for you all and hope to see uou again 💕

Until we meet again...see you in 2027 🍂🍁🤎🍁🍂
