Travel Guide
Anne’s years at Redmond College in Kingsport, Nova Scotia
Despite the story of Anne being centered here in this novel, the real essence of the novel is firmly routed in PEI.However the college days are a fun way of seeing Anne survive and get into scrapes in a new place with new surroundings.
PEI
Everything is remarkably close by and the spirit of Anne is embedded in the island itself from the soil to the lake of Shining waters and the cherry blossom trees. Sadly the horse and carts have been replaced by cars but they do still exist for the tourists.
Green Gables House
The Lucy Maud Montgomery home is one quarter mile East of Green Gables and is decorated to look like the house as it would have been like in Anne’s day, with her room and the white picket fence exactly as she left it.
PEI – Lucy Maud Montgomery birthplace
Lucy Maud Montgomery birthplace. No visit to the island would be complete without visiting the house of the lady who brought Anne into the world.
