Johnny Appleseed Museum

Ohio History
Apple Tree

Here we go, off on a trip to western Ohio. We’ll head for Urbana and Piqua, and then stop to fish at Kiser Lake via the Lockington Locks. Do you know why this tree is famous? It is found in Urbana at . . . the Johnny Appleseed Museum. It was actually propagated from a tree planted by John Chapman! I liked seeing the collection of Johnny Appleseed dolls inside the museum (but interestingly enough, there are no photographs of him and no one knows what he looked like).

Wow, that's amazing! I didn't know that any of Johny Appleseed's trees were still alive.
