and took pictures of this Cool Drool little Park
In life he was Quite a Character.... he refused to EVER wear Shoes... no matter how cold or snowy or icy it was.... he said it was to punish his FEET for stepping on Insects. He may have been a bit Quirky... butt his efforts to plant apple orchards all over Ohio, Pencil Vane E Ah, West Virginia, Indiana, Kentucky...etc..., actually saved many of the Settlers from going Hungry and kept them WELL.... he Sold Seedlings whenever he could... but mostly gave them away... He got all the Seeds that he used for starting the seedlings... from folks who had Cider Presses...
That is French Creek ... you can see behind the plaque.
Thank you Johnny Appleseed Chapman fur bringing your Apples to our Region.

oh that was great to see the place named by you. I had no clue that Mr. Appleseed really existed, that was great what he did... and he needed no office towers what scarp the sky furst to start something... he just did it and it was good for the people..
Thanks for being such a super tourguide!!!

Well I never, was that man clever! I think he must have read about the Jainis of India, who even won't eat root crops because lifting them from the earth may kill living organisms!!! He was a truly great man, methinks... hugs and wags, YAM-aunty xxx

Mom read a story about that Appleseed guy to the kids in her class, back when she was a teacher. Besides no shoes, he also wore a cooking pot on his head. Quirky? Yeah, I guess so.
Love and licks,

Well, it has been a long time since Ma heard about good ole Johnny Appleseed! How cool that you live near a place that commemorates him - and is, honestly, named after YOU!
Hey Frankie, he's from Massachusetts and he's a big deal up here, too. They even have a trail you can follow named the Johnny Appleseed trail. There are lots of festivals, etc. during apple season.
CRIKEY ... you got a TOWN named after you?????? How good is that?? I hope someone names a town after me one day!! Bet Ernie's spittin' chips with jealousy. That Johnny Appleseed sure sounds like a good bloke, aye??
