Anne of Green Gables Home - Located on Prince Edward Island off the Canadian coast, the Anne of Green Gables home, the fictional home of Anne, and the real-life home of her creator Lucy Maud Montgomery attracts some 400,000 tourists a year.

Miss Montgomery's popular novels inspired the Canadian produced films Anne of Green Gables (1985) and its sequel Anne of Avonlea (1987) starring Kevin Sullivan, Megan Follows and Coleen Dewhurst, both which aired on PBS's WONDERWORKS. The Disney cable channel produced its own series adaptation entitled AVONLEA in the 1990s.

Located on Prince Edward Island about 200 miles and two ferry rides northeast of Maine, the Green Gables site is very popular with Japanese tourists who call her "Akage no An." Some Japanese teenage girls even dress like Anne, with long braids and puffed sleeves as they visit Montgomery's birthplace in New London, her Cavendish home, the Green Gables post office, the Anne of Green Gables Museum at Silver Bush and Cavendish Cemetery where the author was buried in 1942. Souvenirs available include red-haired Anne Dolls, Anne polo shirts, Anne bookcovers, Anne quilts, and Anne potato chips.

The Green Gables House is located on Route 6 near intersection of Route 13, in Cavendish. A replica of Anne's home can also be found at a Canadian built theme park located on Japan's northern island of Hokiado.
