Johnny Appleseed Heritage Center (closed)

In a world craving role models for youths and inspiration to adults, we often turn to astronauts, entertainers, and sports figures. Sometimes, however, strong examples of persons who have made meaningful commitments, far-reaching sacrifices, and have led exemplary lives in the face of adversity can be found in the history of our very own backyard. In Ohio, we have many fine examples, but one in particular is an uncommon man whom anyone can admire. He is remembered for his courage, sacrifice, vision, generosity and impact on the lives of Ohio's early settlers and the generations that followed. Philanthropist, naturalist, environmentalist, horticulturist, visionary, missionary, humanitarian and border scout, John Chapman, better known as Johnny Appleseed, is a true American hero. The following presents information about Johnny Appleseed Heritage Center & Outdoor Historical Drama in North Central Ohio -- a major community and state-wide asset, tourist destination, and living tribute to Johnny Appleseed and all early Ohio pioneers and Native Americans.
