It's summertime in Cavendish!

It's been a busy few weeks here at the motel as the tourism season peaks on our beautiful Island.  We enjoy meeting new and returning visitors to our motel.   Daily I meet visitors interested in knowing as much as they can about the life and times of Lucy Maud Montgomery - where she lived and the places she wrote about.

This summer is our 35th season in the tourism business.  Here's a few photos from around our motel - check out our website:  http://www.bayvista.ca/

VINTAGE PHOTOS - 1970s

Below are come photos of the motel shortly after we bought it in 1977.  It's amazing to look at the photos and not see a tree - today we have alot of trees around us.

Below:  An old postcard - there have been many changes over the years.

 

 Below:  Inside the house-keeping unit - many updates since this photo.

1989

Below:  This photos was taken in 1989 - the 125th Anniversary of the gathering of the Fathers of Confederation in Charlottetown.  I portrayed Andrew A. MacDonald in many events and performances that summer - here I am with my sister Dianne and her children in the gazebo at the motel.
