Step back in time with a trip to Avonlea Village. Named after the fictitious town in which Anne lived, Avonlea features replicas of many of the book’s houses and shops. It also holds the original schoolhouse in which Lucy Maud Montgomery taught, the Minister’s residence, and the 1872 Historic Long River Church. It goes without saying that Avonlea Village is very touristy, and you might find more shops and restaurants than anything, but it’s still a worthwhile spot to check out!
