Why all the apples?

by Ischyros

If you come to Fort Wayne, prepare to see everything named after apples. It's sort of like Atlanta with peaches. The reason is the famous American folk hero Johnny Appleseed is buried here. You can find his grave marker near the All County War Memorial Coliseum in Johnny Appleseed Park. That is why you will find places like the Apple Orchard in Glenbrook Mall and you will probably notice rows of apple trees planted along some stretches of roadways in town. It's all thanks to Johnny Appleseed!

Admission is $4 for adults, $2 for children 3-17 and free for children under 3.

I live in Fort Wayne

"Come visit!"

Fort Wayne is a wonderful city with so much to do. It has the appeal of a smaller city, but the feel of a larger city. With the growth of downtown, we are well on our way for even more to do. There is something for everyone here!
