The house and farm used by Lucy Maud Montgomery as the setting for "Anne of Green Gables". In her childhood, some elderly relatives of hers lived on this farm. I have very happy memories of watching the Anne TV series with Lauren and Rachel when they were about 8 and 14. This site is part of a national park and is tastefully presented. But the size of the parking lot told me that I wouldn't want to be in "in season"."Anne of Green Gables" was published in 1908, so this is a big year on PEI. The book was an immediate hit and tourists started coming to the Cavendish area. L. M.'s relatives who lived in this house rented out tourist rooms. I took a nice photo of the bedroom called "Anne's room" and accidentally deleted it tonight. I always wondered how people could do such a stupid thing. Now I know!

I remember that fondly too.
I have deleted a couple of great photos - it is very easy to hit that little trash button twice.
