The Pages to Pilgrimages digital research initiative collects stories from people who have traveled to see the places Canadian author Lucy Maud Montgomery lived, wrote, and made famous. We want to hear about your unique experience. Simply respond to the prompts below with as much detail as you'd like. Whether you visited as a child half a century ago, or only just yesterday, we're glad you're willing to share your story!
