Anne of Green Gables PEI


 

One of the great stories of PEI comes from a little red headed free spirit named Anne. As a fictional character of bestselling author Lucy Maud Montgomery’s novel Anne of Green Gables, this enchanting girl brought inspiration to young people everywhere.


While you’re in PEI be sure to visit the places that inspired the original novel and its continuous followings. Be sure to visit
PEI National Park to see Green Gables itself, and tour through Lover’s Lane and the Haunted Wood. A visit to Lucy Maud Montgomery’s Cavendish Homestead and the Anne of Green Gables Museum are also a must, for fans and visitors to the Island alike.
