Want to dodge the crowds? Green Gables is busiest between 11:00 am and 3:00 pm in July and August. If you prefer a quieter time for your visit, consider coming to see us outside of these hours. 

Need a snack? The Cordial Café located on site provides coffee and beverages, baked goods, Island-made ice cream, and more.

Try the Victorian era on for size. Dress up in the Victorian clothing available on site and pose for a photo!

Keep an eye out for unique artifacts. Inside the Green Gables House, ask our guides about unique items—like the wreath made of human hair in the parlour! The unconventional stove in the kitchen also draws lots of attention.

Take in at least one interpretive program. From guided tours to musical ceilidhs and appearances of Anne of Green Gables herself, make sure that you take in at least one activity. There are daily offerings throughout the July and August to help you better understand the world that L.M. Montgomery lived in.

Are you interested in where L.M. Montgomery spent many of her summers growing up?  We sell access passes to the Site of Lucy Maud Montgomery’s Cavendish Home on site.
