📖 History
The roots of Green Gables reach back to the 1830s, when the MacNeil family, Montgomery's relatives, and the original owners of the homestead, erected the now-iconic building. As Montgomery's novels gained popularity in the following decades, so too did the interest in Green Gables. Eventually, the government of Canada purchased the property in 1936, intending to showcase 19th-century farming life on Prince Edward Island. However, as time marched on, plans were put in motion to restore the home to its former glory as depicted in Montgomery's timeless novels. Today, Green Gables and the National Historic Site stand as a tribute to Montgomery's legacy, a beloved museum that immerses visitors in the world of this remarkable author and her unforgettable characters.
