Lucy Maud Montgomery museum up for sale

The Lucy Maud Montgomery Heritage Museum has been put up for sale because the owner says he's losing money on it.

Robert Montgomery is a distant relative of the beloved author of Anne of Green Gables — his great-grandfather, Senator Donald Montgomery, was Lucy Maud Montgomery's grandfather.

Now, Robert Montgomery is putting the 134-year-old house in Park Corner, about 21 km from of the Anne of Green Gables museum, up for sale.
