Prince Edward Island Provincial Park Yesterday, we traveled primarily through forested New Brunswick to get here. That included a 100 miles of just forest – no towns, just a road that at times shook us to pieces. On arriving we visited the Wyatt Heritage Properties in Summerside. The house was owned originally by one of the shipping magnates – it is one of the best preserved houses I’ve seen from the late 19th century. Most of the furnishing are original (all but 4) and one can tour the entire house – no roped off areas. And best of all, we had a private tour of the entire place. In the afternoon we visited Avonlea of Ann of Green Gables fame. They had many of the original buildings that surrounded the author during her years of writing. The place overcharged as far as we were concerned, but the entertainment (square dancing, little skits, and a good concert of Prince Edward Island music) almost made it worth it.
