The Green Gables Heritage Place is located in a picturesque location on Prince Edward Island, surrounded by beautiful farmland and woods. It is comprised of several barn buildings and the main house, a white building with green trim as it appears in the books. You can walk through the two-story house that features Late Victorian period designs both inside and outside as well as view Anne’s bedroom and other rooms that appear in the books, including the dairy room, pantry, kitchen, and sewing room.
Fans of Anne of Green Gables will be thrilled to walk through wooded trails and gardens that appear frequently throughout the books, including the “Haunted Woods” trail, which leads to the site of where Montgomery lived and wrote the famous novels, as well as “Balsam Hollow” and “Lover’s Lane.” The site is a tranquil and educational place for you to step back in history and learn more about how these famous novels came to be.
