rfmcdonaldI don't think Avonlea Village is quite authentic, as a recreation of a late 19th century Island village. Perhaps its buildings are too densely packed? You don't go to Avonlea Village for authenticity, though: You go for a taste of the imagined Island. At that, the complex is quite good, with plenty of products for sale. Restaurants, chocolates and candy packed, souvenirs--everything is available in a compact and well-tended setting. The Island maps at the local branch of Samuel's Coffee House were a nice final touch for me, as in fact was the coffee there.
