Lucy Maud Montgomery gave the house the name "Silver Bush" and called the pond "Lake of Shining Waters". The home was the inspiration of many of her writings including her series of "Pat" books: "Pat of Silver Bush" (1933) and "Mistress Pat" (1935). Silver Bush was the setting of "The Story Girl" in the Anne of Green Gables series, published in 1911.

visit link) It was built in 1872 for John Campbell (1834-1917) and his wife Annie Macneill (1848-1924). Annie Macneill Campbell was Lucy Maud's aunt. Lucy Maud's mother, Clara Macneill Montgomery, died when her only child was two years of age. Lucy Maud spent most of her early life in nearby Cavendish with her maternal grandparents, but visited often at Silver Bush with her Campbell relatives in Park Corner.
