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 – where images from the blockbuster 1908 novel blend with the real life experiences of local author Lucy Maud Montgomery, who drew inspiration from the idyllic farmstead and its red woodland pathways.

The Birthplace of the esteemed authoress, Lucy Maud Montgomery, is situated on the picturesque village of "Clifton", New London, PE on Route 6, overlooking the beautiful New London Harbour and the sand dunes of which she was to write so much about in later years. LM Montgomery was the authoress of the famous ANNE books, best known of which is Anne of Green Gables. Other books written by this famous authoress include "Pat of Silver Bush", "The Story Girl", "Rainbow Valley", and "The Emily Series".

The Anne of Green Gables Museum located in Park Corner was built in 1872 by the Author's Aunt Annie and Uncle John Campbell. Some of the artefacts you'll see in the Museum are Anne's Enchanted Bookcase, the organ on which her wedding march was played, Crazy Patchwork Quilt, the Blue Chest from The Story Girl and many artefacts that the Author wrote about and personal memorabilia of the Authors.
