Best known as the fictional home of Anne Shirley – the spunky red-haired heroine of L.M. Montgomery’s Anne of Green Gables – this place once belonged to cousins of the author. Now protected, the site includes many of Montgomery’s beloved lanes and pathways and the old house, lovingly decorated, brings Anne’s world to life. People come from near and far in search of Anne, a stronger connection to a beloved story, and a chance to see the captivating landscapes that once inspired an author and still capture the imaginations of visitors today.
Notes from "Virtual road trip – Canada from coast to coast to coast"
A straw hat, red-haired braids and a pinafore define Canada’s most loved fictional character, Anne of Green Gables. Meet the head-strong orphan and re-live her youthful escapades and mishaps within the memory-filled rooms of her home – Green Gables.
What to do?
Explore the new visitor center and it’s exhibit hall while reliving Anne’s escapades and misadventures with guided tours, interpretive trails and a geocaching course.
