Avonlea Village

Anne of Green Gables - doesn't she look familiar?

Morgane and I spent yesterday at Avonlea Village while Ghis took care of some errands. We really loved it. Every hour or two, a scene would be acted out at some location in the village. This really broke it up into child-sized bites of theater. In between, we visited the different stores and followed the characters as they went about their business.

She went on a pony ride and we got to dress up in old-fashioned clothes and take pictures of ourselves. In the afternoon, there was square dancing and a field day with sack races. At the very end of it all was a pig race.

I was pleased to see this celebration of a children’s author and her characters. I am surprised there isn’t a Harry Potter Land yet. Or is there?

Lucy Maud Montgomery also took photographs and these are displayed in Avonlea Village. That’s at least two things we have in common!
