L.M. Montgomery House: The Leaskdale Manse
The Leaskdale Manse: L.M. Montgomery House is officially designated under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act, is a cherished Canadian literary landmark. This historic home in Leaskdale, Ontario, holds deep significance as the first home that Lucy Maud Montgomery—the famed author of Anne of Green Gables—could truly call her own. More than just a residence, it was a place of inspiration, personal joys, and profound struggles, where she penned eleven of her twenty-two novels.
Today, the Leaskdale Manse National Historic Site stands as a tribute to one of Canada’s most beloved authors, offering visitors a glimpse into the life and times of L.M. Montgomery during her years in Leaskdale.
In 1911, L.M. Montgomery arrived in Leaskdale, a prosperous farming village in Ontario, as the new bride of Ewan Macdonald, a Presbyterian minister originally from Prince Edward Island. Ewan had taken on the pastoral role at St. Paul’s Presbyterian Church in Leaskdale a year earlier.
The Leaskdale Manse, L.M. Montgomery House
.
For Montgomery, the move to Leaskdale was significant. It marked the first time she had a home of her own, a place where she could create, dream, and build a family. The Leaskdale Manse, a modest yet charming house, became the setting for some of the most prolific years of her career.
During her 15 years in Leaskdale, Montgomery gave birth to her two sons, Chester and Stuart, in the upstairs master bedroom of the Manse. Tragically, another son, Hugh, was stillborn and is buried in the Thomas Foster Memorial Cemetery south of Leaskdale.
Though motherhood and the responsibilities of a minister’s wife occupied much of her time, Montgomery’s literary talent flourished in Leaskdale. She wrote eleven of her twenty-two novels here, continuing the stories of Anne Shirley, among other beloved characters.
Despite the beauty of the Ontario countryside, life in Leaskdale was not always idyllic for Montgomery. Her diaries, later published, reveal the challenges she faced—her husband’s struggle with mental illness, financial concerns, and the demands of parish life. Yet, through these struggles, she remained dedicated to her craft, pouring her experiences, emotions, and dreams into her writing.
When Montgomery arrived in Leaskdale in 1911, she was already a literary sensation. Having published Anne of Green Gables just three years earlier, her arrival in the village was met with great enthusiasm and curiosity. The community was eager to welcome the famous author into their midst.
St. Paul’s Presbyterian Church in Leaskdale
The St. Paul’s Presbyterian Church, where her husband Ewan Macdonald served, was a small but beautifully built country church. It had only been standing for five years when the Macdonalds arrived, featuring stunning stained glass windows and polished wooden pews. The congregation was divided between Leaskdale and Zephyr, requiring Ewan to serve both locations.
Montgomery’s literary achievements did not go unrecognized. Her contributions to Canadian literature and culture earned her numerous accolades, including:
Even beyond Canada, her work gained international acclaim, cementing her place among the greatest literary figures of the 20th century.
The Leaskdale Manse National Historic Site has been lovingly restored and preserved, offering guided tours, historical exhibits, and a glimpse into Montgomery’s world. Visitors can explore:
Historic Plaque outside the Leaskdale Manse, L.M. Montgomery House
For fans of Montgomery’s work, the site is a must-visit destination, allowing them to walk in the footsteps of the woman who brought Anne Shirley to life and made Prince Edward Island—and Canada—famous in literature.
The L.M. Montgomery House (Leaskdale Manse) is more than just a heritage home; it is a monument to one of Canada’s greatest writers. It stands as a testament to her creativity, resilience, and enduring legacy.
Whether you’re a devoted fan of Anne of Green Gables or simply a lover of Canadian history, a visit to this historic site provides a deeper appreciation for Montgomery’s life, work, and the challenges she faced in her personal and literary journey.
For those looking to explore Canada’s literary history, the Leaskdale Manse is a treasured gem that continues to inspire.
The Leaskdale Manse was L.M. Montgomery’s first real home, where she lived for 15 years and wrote eleven of her novels. It is now a National Historic Site preserving her legacy.
The Manse is located in Leaskdale, Ontario, Canada, a small rural village northeast of Toronto.
Yes, the site offers guided tours showcasing Montgomery’s home, personal belongings, and historical exhibits related to her life in Leaskdale.
While at the Manse, Montgomery wrote eleven novels, including several in the Anne of Green Gables series, such as Anne’s House of Dreams and Rilla of Ingleside.
Though she found inspiration in Leaskdale, Montgomery also faced personal struggles, including her husband’s mental health issues and the pressures of being a minister’s wife.
Montgomery’s work, particularly Anne of Green Gables, is considered one of Canada’s most beloved literary treasures. Her stories have been translated into over 36 languages and continue to captivate readers worldwide.
For anyone interested in literary history and Canadian heritage, the Leaskdale Manse is a fascinating destination that brings L.M. Montgomery’s world to life.

The real estate market in Uxbridge Township experienced a notable decline in February 2025, with key indicators pointing toward a shift in market dynamics. The average sales price for the month was $1,123,318, reflecting a 6.2% decrease from February 2024 and a more significant 17.7% drop from January 2025 when the average price was $1,365,264. This sharp month-over-month decline suggests a cooling market, potentially driven by seasonal trends, economic conditions, or changing buyer demand.
Total sales remained consistent with January 2025 at 11 transactions, but this figure represents a 42% decline from February 2024, when 19 properties were sold. Despite the decrease in sales volume, the sale-to-list price ratio rose to 99% from 94% last month, indicating that sellers were achieving near-asking prices on their listings.
Properties sold in a broad price range of $50,000 to $3,575,000, with three sales exceeding $1.3 million. The inclusion of two vacant land sales at $50,000 and $365,000 and a rural home sale at $3,575,000 contributed to fluctuations in the average price. Without these outliers, the overall market trend may have been different, highlighting the importance of considering median prices alongside averages.
New listings dropped to 35 in February, down from 42 in January and 44 in February 2024, reflecting a decline in seller activity. Meanwhile, the average days on market remained steady at 21 days, suggesting stable buyer engagement despite reduced inventory.
The months of inventory increased slightly to 6.55 months, up from 5.82 months in January, officially positioning the market into buyer’s territory. This shift indicates that supply is outpacing demand, providing buyers with more negotiating power and greater selection, which could contribute to further price softening in the coming months.
With sales volume declining, inventory rising, and prices dropping, Uxbridge Township’s real estate market appears to be entering a buyer-friendly phase. The market will likely continue adjusting as buyers take advantage of softer pricing and more inventory choices. Future trends will depend on external economic factors, interest rates, and seller motivations in the upcoming spring market.

The real estate market in Scugog Township showed signs of continued cooling in February 2025, with declining home prices and stable but subdued sales activity.
The average sales price for February 2025 was $960,538, reflecting a 13.1% decline from February 2024 ($1,104,695) and a 3.6% drop from January 2025 ($995,923). This downward trend suggests a shift in buyer behavior, potentially influenced by affordability concerns, higher borrowing costs, or a general market correction after previous price surges.
Total sales remained stagnant at 13 transactions, the same as January but significantly lower than 20 sales in February 2024. Despite this, the range of property sales remained diverse, spanning from $641,000 to $1,400,000, with three homes selling for over $1.2 million. This indicates that while demand has softened, there are still buyers in the market for higher-end properties.
The sale-to-list price ratio declined to 96%, down from 98% last month, signaling increased negotiation between buyers and sellers. This suggests that properties are not achieving as close to their asking prices as they were in the previous month, a sign of a market favoring buyers more than sellers.
New listings fell to 36, compared to 43 in January and 37 in February 2024, indicating a moderate decrease in seller activity. Meanwhile, the months of inventory edged slightly higher to 4.77 months, up from 4.54 in January, further reinforcing the presence of a balanced market where neither buyers nor sellers hold a strong advantage.
The average days on market for properties in February was 52 days, reinforcing the trend of longer selling times. This suggests that buyers are being more selective, and sellers may need to adjust pricing expectations or offer more incentives to close deals.
The Scugog Township real estate market is continuing its cooling trend, with declining home prices, steady but reduced sales, and longer time on market. While sellers are still achieving respectable prices, the lower sale-to-list price ratio and increasing inventory suggest buyers may have more negotiating power in the coming months. However, with sales remaining steady, the market continues to exhibit characteristics of a balanced environment, rather than a steep downturn.
As we move into the spring market, it will be important to monitor whether increased listing activity and potential interest rate shifts impact buyer confidence and overall market momentum.

The real estate market in Brock Township saw notable shifts in February 2025, with home prices continuing to rise despite a slowdown in sales activity.
The average sales price for homes in Brock Township climbed to $787,861, reflecting a 3.44% increase from February 2024 ($761,636) and a significant 21.1% jump from January 2025 ($650,444). This sharp month-over-month increase suggests that higher-priced properties contributed to the overall price growth, particularly as three properties sold for over $1 million.
A total of 8 homes were sold in February 2025, slightly below January’s 9 sales and considerably lower than the 14 sales recorded in February 2024. This decline in sales volume indicates a softer demand compared to last year. However, despite fewer sales, homes transacted within a broad price range, from $475,000 to $1,825,000, highlighting diversity in the market.
The sale-to-list price ratio fell to 95%, down from 99% in January, suggesting that buyers had more negotiating power in February, leading to properties selling below asking price more frequently.
New listings in February totaled 19, down from 24 in January 2025 and 21 in February 2024. While the supply of new homes entering the market decreased, inventory levels remained stable, with months of inventory rising slightly to 4.88, up from 4.56 in January. This keeps Brock Township within a balanced market, neither favoring buyers nor sellers.
Homes in February took an average of 44 days to sell, indicating a moderate pace of transactions. While this doesn’t signal a dramatic slowdown, it suggests that buyers are taking more time to make purchasing decisions.
Overall, February 2025’s real estate market in Brock Township presented a mixed picture. Prices saw a notable rise, driven in part by higher-end sales, while sales activity slowed compared to previous months and last year. The decline in the sale-to-list price ratio and longer days on the market indicate shifting buyer dynamics, with more room for negotiation. Inventory levels remain balanced, suggesting a stable market outlook in the coming months.

The Durham Region real estate market in February 2025 showed a mix of stability and gradual shifts, with pricing trends indicating a market still finding its footing.
The average sales price for February 2025 was $897,759, reflecting a 2.3% decrease from February 2024 when the average was $919,017. However, on a month-over-month basis, prices remained virtually unchanged, rising by just 0.1% from January’s $896,611. This suggests that while prices have softened compared to last year, they may be stabilizing as buyers and sellers adjust to evolving market conditions.
Total home sales in February reached 555, which represents a 25.5% decline from the 745 sales recorded in February 2024. However, sales showed an encouraging increase from 489 transactions in January, indicating a seasonal uptick in activity as we move toward the traditionally busier spring market.
Despite the lower overall sales volume, the sale-to-list price ratio rose to 101%, up from 100% in January. This suggests that homes are still selling close to, or slightly above, asking prices, indicating continued demand in certain property segments.
The number of new listings in February was 1,229, showing a slight increase from 1,213 in January and 1,217 in February 2024. This consistent listing activity is keeping inventory levels relatively stable, preventing a significant swing toward a buyer’s market.
The months of inventory remained at 2.85, down slightly from 2.90 in January. This figure remains right on the cusp of a seller’s market and a balanced market, suggesting that while buyers have a bit more selection than during peak seller’s market conditions, sellers are still maintaining some leverage.
The average days on market (DOM) for February was 34 days, reflecting a relatively stable timeline for selling properties. This suggests that while homes are not moving as quickly as in highly competitive periods, the market is still functioning efficiently.
The Durham Region real estate market in February 2025 continued to show signs of adjustment. While average prices remain slightly lower than last year, month-over-month stability suggests a potential price floor forming. Sales activity is picking up from January lows, and with the list-to-sale price ratio at 101%, there is evidence of buyer demand in select areas. Inventory levels remain relatively tight, reinforcing a market teetering between balanced and seller-friendly conditions. As we head into the spring market, it will be crucial to watch whether increasing listings meet demand or if buyer competition continues to push prices upward.

Tucked away in Uxbridge’s historic landscape, the Harrison House is a testament to the town’s rich architectural and entrepreneurial past. Built in 1873 by Henry Madill Jr., this charming 1 ½ storey home with a back kitchen and dining room reflects the craftsmanship and character of 19th-century Uxbridge.
Henry Madill Jr. was a well-known merchant in the community, operating a dry goods store on Brock Street. His investment in the home was not just a personal endeavour but a reflection of Uxbridge’s growth during that era. However, the property soon changed hands, marking a new chapter in its history.
The Harrison House – 2024
In 1861, James Harrison purchased the home, forever linking his name to the property. A harness maker by trade, Harrison ran a successful business on Main Street in Uxbridge for two decades. His craftsmanship in leatherwork was essential to the thriving equestrian and farming communities of the time. The Harrison family’s presence in the home solidified its reputation as a place of industrious spirit and community involvement.
Decades later, in 1949, the The Harrison House found itself at the heart of another significant transformation. Mrs. Alma Soper opened Cedarlea Maternity Home within its walls, offering a vital service to expectant mothers in the community. Operating for seven years, Cedarlea Maternity Home was a beacon of care, welcoming new life into Uxbridge and providing comfort to families during an important time in their lives.
The Harrison House remains an integral part of Uxbridge’s heritage, standing as a symbol of the town’s evolving identity. From its early days as a merchant’s home to its role as a maternity facility, the house has been a cornerstone of both business and family life. Today, it continues to remind us of the many layers of history that shape the community we know and love.
As Uxbridge continues to grow, preserving landmarks like the Harrison House ensures that the stories of the past remain woven into the fabric of the town’s future.

Nestled in the heart of Uxbridge, the Samuel and Emma Todd House stands as a striking reminder of the town’s rich architectural and industrial past. Built in 1885, this charming two-storey yellow brick home boasts unique front and side gables adorned with intricate bargeboard and gingerbread trim. Its design reflects the craftsmanship and artistry of its era, much like the carriages once produced by its owner, Samuel B. Todd.
The property was originally owned by local contractor George Long, who sold it in 1885 to Samuel B. Todd. At the time, Todd was an established name in the carriage-building industry, owning and operating Conboy Carriage Works in Goodwood. For many years, he crafted high-quality wagons, cutters, and sleighs, serving the needs of local farmers and tradespeople who relied on horse-drawn transport. His skill and dedication to his craft made him a key figure in the region’s economic development.
Mr. Long, who built his own residence across the street from this property, owned a number of lots along First Avenue at this time, and it is presumed that he also built this house before selling it in 1885 to Samuel B. Todd.
Samuel Todd and his family moved into this home about two years after arriving in town from Goodwood. He purchased the Conboy Carriage Works in 1883.
The Samuel and Emma Todd House is a fine example of late 19th-century residential design, showcasing elements typical of Gothic Revival and Victorian styles. The yellow brick exterior adds warmth and character, while the ornate bargeboard and gingerbread detailing highlight the era’s emphasis on decorative woodwork. The gabled rooflines give the home a distinctive silhouette, making it a standout among Uxbridge’s historic homes.
The Todd family’s contributions to the community extended beyond their home. Samuel Todd’s work in the carriage industry reflected a time when transportation was evolving, and his craftsmanship played a crucial role in the daily lives of Uxbridge residents. Today, the house remains a beautiful testament to both architectural heritage and the town’s industrious spirit.
As Uxbridge continues to embrace its history, the Samuel and Emma Todd House serves as a reminder of the skilled tradespeople who helped shape the town. Whether admired for its striking design or its connection to a once-thriving industry, this home remains a treasured piece of local history.

The Super Bowl is one of the biggest events of the year, bringing together friends, family, and football fans for an unforgettable night. Whether you’re hosting a big crowd or a small gathering, preparation is key to making the party a success. Here’s how to get ready for the ultimate Super Bowl party.
Super Bowl Sunday is a popular day for gatherings, so make sure to invite your guests well in advance. A simple text, email, or even a fun digital invitation can do the trick. Ask guests to RSVP so you can plan accordingly.
Food is just as important as the game itself! Classic Super Bowl snacks include:
Consider dietary restrictions and offer a mix of options, including vegetarian and gluten-free choices. Don’t forget desserts like brownies or football-themed cookies!
Make sure you have a variety of drinks, including:
Set up a self-serve drink station so guests can help themselves.
The game is the main event, so ensure your TV is set up for optimal viewing. Arrange plenty of seating with couches, chairs, and floor cushions so everyone has a good view. Test your streaming or cable connection ahead of time to avoid last-minute issues.
Get into the spirit by decorating with team colours, banners, and football-themed items. Consider:
A friendly betting pool (just for fun or small prizes) can keep guests engaged. Use printable Super Bowl squares or have guests predict the score, MVP, or funniest commercial.
Not everyone will be glued to the halftime show. Provide extra entertainment options like:
Make post-game cleanup easier by setting out trash and recycling bins in accessible spots. Use disposable plates and cups for easy cleanup, or have a dishwasher ready to go.
If your TV or internet goes down, have a backup plan, like streaming from a mobile device or tuning in on the radio. Also, if you’re hosting outdoors, check the weather in advance.
Finally, don’t stress too much! The Super Bowl is about fun, food, and friends. Once everything is set up, grab some snacks, cheer for your team, and enjoy the night!
With these tips, you’ll be ready to host a Super Bowl party that your guests will be talking about long after the final whistle. Happy hosting!
Weekly Real Estate Market Minute for the Townships of Uxbridge and Scugog
St. Andrew’s – Chalmers Presbyterian Church 2024
The Uxbridge St. Andrews – Chalmers Presbyterian Church boasts a rich history deeply intertwined with the community. Its roots stretch back to 1861 when it was established as the Presbyterian Church, Uxbridge. Initially, services were held at the Methodist Church on First Avenue.
In 1866, the congregation joined forces with the Leaskdale congregation, a significant step in its growth. This union paved the way for the construction of a new Gothic-style church in 1869, situated at the corner of Toronto Street and Church Street. This impressive structure, capable of seating 350 people, was a testament to the congregation’s dedication and cost approximately $3,000 to build.

By 1883, the growing congregation recognized the need for expansion. Land behind the existing church was acquired, and construction commenced the following June. The result was a remarkable building featuring multiple large arched stained-glass windows and two imposing towers crowned with decorative spires. The entrance graced the base of the east tower, adding to the church’s grandeur.
The new church was officially opened on February 1, 1885, at a cost of around $11,000. Four years later, a pipe organ was installed, further enhancing the worship experience.

In 1921, the St. Andrews Quaker Hill congregation joined with St. Andrews, leading to a period of significant change. In 1925, a vote was held to remain with the Presbyterian Church, and the congregation adopted the name Chalmers Presbyterian Church.
A further milestone occurred in 1962 with the amalgamation of the two congregations. This event spurred the construction of a new hall, St. Andrew’s Hall. A sod-turning ceremony took place in 1963, followed by the laying of the cornerstone in June 1964. This period also saw the church building painted white to harmonize with the new hall. St. Andrew’s Hall was officially opened and dedicated on January 3, 1965.
By 1981, the church required extensive repairs. The congregation faced a crucial decision: build a new church or renovate the existing one. Ultimately, the decision was made to renovate. This involved removing many of the ornate features, sandblasting to remove the white paint, and installing new bricks to match the original red brickwork on the newer section of the building.
The Uxbridge St. Andrews – Chalmers Presbyterian Church stands as a testament to the enduring faith and community spirit of its members. Through its history of growth, change, and adaptation, it has remained an integral part of the Uxbridge community, providing a place of worship and fellowship for generations.
