Happy National Pen Pal Day!

L.M. Montgomery had pen pals for 40+ years. No wifi required.

An Alberta schoolteacher. A Scottish journalist. Both people she wrote to, faithfully, for decades.

Montgomery's pen pal friendships with Ephraim Weber and George Boyd MacMillan were her window to a world beyond — proof that a letter can cross any distance.

Who are you writing to today?

We have seen many different productions at Leaskdale and have never been disappointed ... mark your calendars!

Yes! The Musical, "The Blue Castle" is Coming to the Historic Leaskdale Church!💙

To celebrate the 100th anniversary of L.M. Montgomery’s beloved 1926 romance, The LMMSO & Ryleepuss Productions are pleased to present an original musical production of "The Blue Castle".
This enchanting story follows Valancy Stirling, a “plain Jane” trapped by a stifling family and a life of “should-nots.” After receiving life-altering news,Valancy courageously decides to live on her own terms, finding adventure, friendship and an unexpected, rebellious love, in the Ontario wilderness. Heartfelt, humorous, and soaring with melody, this production honours Montgomery’s most mature love story, and reminds us it’s never too late to seek out a “Blue Castle” of our dreams.

What does it mean to teach L.M. Montgomery in the twenty-first century? The workshop will engage with how changing contexts—in terms of technology, digital media, remote work and communication, student expectations, the state of the humanities and academia—are transforming what the Montgomery classroom, teacher, and learning look like in 2026. Hosted by LMMI partners and friends!

Maud and Ewan’s gravesite is receiving a makeover. The cedar trees surrounding the gravestone have been removed as work begins to refresh and care for the site for future generations of visitors.
It is certainly a change for those of us used to seeing the cedars there, but the space is being lovingly maintained❤️

Great post with some great pics. Although, we will point out that on the wall at Green Gables Heritage Place there are 40 languages shown on the display of book covers and Gaelic was released in 2019 😉
