Green Gables, Heritage museum in Cavendish, Canada.

Green Gables is a 19th-century farmhouse in Cavendish, Canada, now operated as a museum that displays the living quarters of a rural family. The property includes maintained gardens with flower beds, fruit trees, and several walking paths through woods and fields.

The MacNeil family built the farmhouse in the 1830s and worked the land for several generations. Lucy Maud Montgomery visited the property often as a child and later used it as the setting for her novel series about Anne Shirley.

The green gable and shutters were painted shortly after the federal government bought the house in 1936, to make it "suitable" for opening; the name Green Gables comes from Montgomery's novel, not from original paintwork. Since 1985 the house has been furnished to match the Green Gables of the books, and the 2019 interpretive centre north of the homestead holds exhibitions on Montgomery and Anne of Green Gables.

The museum opens from May through October and sits within a larger park with free parking near the entrance. The paths through the gardens are mostly level, while the forest trails have natural ground and may become slippery after rain.

The green gable and shutters were painted shortly after the federal government bought the house in 1936, to make it more "suitable" for opening. The house was expanded in 1921, giving it its present L-shape. Montgomery's funeral was held here in 1942, and she is buried in the adjacent Cavendish cemetery.
