LM Montgomery Museum Feasibility Study

LM Montgomery Museum & Literary Centre - Museum Feasibility Study January 2020 cover

In 2019, a museum feasibility study was undertaken by members of our board and volunteers. This study has guided the planning and operations for the future Museum. In particular, this study has assessed the financial demands and community involvement required to establish the Norval Manse as a heritage site dedicated to Lucy Maud Montgomery’s life and career.

LMM Literary Feasibility Study

In 2021, the Museum and Literary Centre embarked on a pivotal feasibility study to assess its learning, research, initiatives, and the required revenues to accomplish them. The team consisted of researchers, learning specialists, and curators who made significant contributions to the completion of the project. The work of Lord Cultural Resources was especially invaluable in assisting with the articulation of this project and its objectives.
