Bideford Parsonage Museum
A visit to the Bideford Parsonage Museum is to experience an era of simpler times in this Provincially Registered Historical Home originally built in 1878 by Thomas H. Pope.
Six years later he sold his home to the local Methodist church for use as their Parsonage. Lucy Maud Montgomery was only 19 when she came here in 1894-95, to board with the Reverend John F. and Mrs. Ada Estey, while in her first teaching position at Bideford No. 6 School.
The Parsonage was often the setting of local church and community functions. Many marriage ceremonies were performed by the resident clergyman in the parlour.
