Johnny Appleseed Park
Johnny Appleseed Park, Historic memorial park in Fort Wayne, United States
The 31-acre park alongside the St. Joseph River contains campsites, a boat ramp, playground equipment, and recreational walking paths through natural surroundings.
Named after John Chapman, the park earned its place on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973 and includes the final resting place of the pioneer.
The annual Johnny Appleseed Festival in September draws thousands of visitors to celebrate the legacy of John Chapman through period demonstrations and historical reenactments.
Forty-one RV camping sites with electrical hookups, shower facilities, and a laundry building serve travelers from May through October along Coliseum Boulevard.
The weathered tombstone at Chapman's gravesite features a carved apple in bas-relief and bears the inscription 'Johnny Appleseed He lived for others 1774-1845.'
