Spend an afternoon in the time of Lucy Maud Montgomery, author of PEI’s beloved Anne of Green Gables, in this unique immersive experience that celebrates her 150th birthday! Our costumed guide will lead you through the village, connecting Orwell Corner’s authentic late-Victorian charms to Montgomery’s life and facilitating hands-on historic activities. Visit our adorable farm animals, learn to waltz on the village green, enjoy some afternoon tea, and follow in Montgomery’s own footsteps by taking a wagon ride along a route she travelled in 1910!
