Green Gable House

Built in the mid-1800s, this house belonged to cousins of Lucy Maud Montgomery’s grandfather. Their farm inspired the setting for her first novel Anne of Green Gables. Refurbished to portray the 1890s setting described in the novel. On the grounds, the Balsam Hollow and Haunted Woods trails feature some of Montgomery’s favorite woodland haunts including Lovers Lane. Open May 3 to November 1 daily. For more information, see the Green Gables website.
