"Nice spot to pay your respects. Several gravesites are quite historic-- over 250 years old. The site if LM Montgomery is just to the right of the entrance."

"The final resting place of the mind that brought us anne of green gables.
It's just around the corner from the trail of the old property Lucy Maud Montgomery grew up on. There's also a historical post office nearby. All of it is within walking distance, I would suggest parking nearby and going for a short walk in the area."
