Here's to all the kindred spirits out there.

Anne of Green Gables, written by Lucy Maud Montgomery, was first published in 1908. It became an overnight sensation and Anne Shirley has been Canada's national treasure ever since.

Brampton’s Historic Bovaird House invites you to join them on June 24, from noon to 3 p.m., to celebrate the much-loved book's 110th anniversary. Promising an afternoon of family fun, there will be popular games from the early 1900s, including a scavenger hunt. Everyone is encouraged to bring along a picnic, spread out a blanket and enjoy the beautiful grounds of Historic Bovaird House. As an added treat, Historic Bovaird House volunteers will be serving liniment cake, ice cream and raspberry cordial just like Anne enjoyed.

No reservations are required and Historic Bovaird House is pleased to offer this event free of charge to help celebrate this beloved piece of Canadian literary history.
