L.M. Montgomery's Cavendish National Historic Site

Super friendly staff. Beautiful grounds, and super cute information building/gift shop.Must see if youre an Ann of Green Gables fan. Its a short visit but very lovely.

A beautiful walk through the grounds of the property where Lucy Maud Montgomery grew up. This is a seperate (private) property to the National Parks site at 'Green Gables' and has a small extra fee. With the small fee to help keep the history of the site alive and maintain the beautiful grounds.

Very minimal, no home, just a foundation. Was nice seeing the foyndation of the authors actual home. The ground were beautiful. The bookstore very nice. Was worth paying the small fee just to hear the 5 minute history.

Prepare to be disappointed if you are expecting to see a second Green Gables. The only remains of the original homestead of Lucy Maud Montgomery's grandparents are the stone walls of the basement. It is a hole in the ground.". But hey

For any fan of L.M Montgomerys books and life, the Cavendish Homestead is the cutest place to visit. We walked to the path through the “haunted woods” stumbling across the most adorable bookstore. It was pleasantly filled with historical antiquities to view and, of course, lots of books! It was great to see her other works such as Emily of New Moon and The Story Girl on display. We were also able to see a building which was the kitchen that held the original post office in which she worked. The trail is a lot shorter than the other trails in PEI, so if you aren’t into hiking, it is the perfect place to take quiet tour. While the actual house is not longer standing, the historical outlay of the building is still intact. It gives a further taste of the natural beauty PEI has to offer. Hope you enjoy your time at the Cavendish Homestead!- Michaela and Natasha

Nice walk, lots of good info and people at store where great.

The old homestead was very cool to walk through! The old foundation and stone walls were incredible to see. The employee at the store was very kind and informative and highlighted some of the cool artifacts on site. Well worth stopping in to visit if you are an LM Montgomery fan.

The books store still run by family member and they have the original books of Anne Green Gable in the book store

A delightful little piece of Canada’s literary history is tucked away in a quiet road near Green Gables. Montgomery lived on this land, worked as a postmistress, and wrote her first two Anne books here. The staff provide an excellent oral history of the Lucy’s mother’s family. The walk around the house ruins provides valuable insight into this important place that provided inspiration to Montgomery’s imagination. The bookshop has all of Montgomery’s books and other texts that provide information about her life.
