Green Gables, part of Lucy Maud Montgomery's Cavendish National Historic Site, has become famous around the world as the inspiration for the setting in Lucy Maud Montgomery's classic tale of fiction, Anne of Green Gables. In real life, this farm was the home of David Jr. and Margaret Macneill, who were cousins of Montgomery's grandfather. Shortly after her death in 1942, Lucy Maud Montgomery was recognized by the Historic Sites and Monuments Board of Canada as being a person of national historic significance, and a monument and plaque were erected at Green Gables in 1948. Designated in 2005, Lucy Maud Montgomery's Cavendish National Historic Site includes the Site of Lucy Maud Montgomery's Cavendish Home and Green Gables.

No matter where I travel it seems like people have heard of Anne of Green Gables. And that's pretty obvious when you visit Green Gables, given the number of tour buses that seem to constantly be pulling up! But despite how busy it is, it's a great place to visit when you go to PEI. I watched the Anne of Green Gables tv show religiously when i was a kid and visiting this place is like reliving that. Definitely make it a stop when you visit the Maritimes!
