On Roads Not Yet Paved: the Cars of Lucy Maud Montgomery

In 1918 Lucy Maud Montgomery, famous Canadian author of Anne of Green Gables, and her husband bought their first car. Though she at first missed the quiet romance of a horse and buggy they quickly embraced the car’s speed and freedom, taking trips to Bala, Mammoth Cave in Kentucky and Prince Edward Island, mostly on roads not yet paved. As well, the car brought them breakdowns, crashes and a major lawsuit!

This online talk will take place over Zoom and is part of the Canadian Automotive Museum's Third Thursday lecture series. These online talks are free and open to the public, but registration is required. The Canadian Automotive Museum is a registered Canadian charity and a suggested donation of $10 goes toward covering the cost of hosting these virtual events. Donors who make an annual contribution of over $25 will receive a charitable tax receipt.
