Glimpses of the Past Volume 4: Anne of Cornwall
Robert H. Coleman is well known in this area for his wealth, the railroad he built, and the founding of Mount Gretna but what about his sister, Anne Coleman Rogers? Her life spanned the time of the setting of L.M. Montgomery’s Anne of Green Gables books, and one could say “our” Anne lived an equally remarkable and romantic life.

Cottage Histories
Have you ever wondered what your cottage would tell you if it could talk? In fact, we used to have a program with that title: “If Cottages Could Talk.” At the program, cottage owners shared the results of their research, enlightening all in attendance about the cottages and the broader history of the community.
One of the most often asked questions we get is, “What can you tell me about my cottage?” The Mount Gretna Area Historical Society would love to add your story to our collection and compile a database of such information and encourages all owners to research and share with us what they learn about the history of their properties.
