NORCROSS, GA – The Johnny Appleseed Trail in North Central Massachusetts follows Route 2 between the Freedom Trail and the Mohawk Trail.  The scenic Appleseed Trail winds through historic and quaint New England cities and towns in the region that is the birthplace of John Chapman – the American legend who became known as Johnny Appleseed as he traveled across the nation planting apple trees.

From July through the fall harvest, many orchards produce scores of shiny varieties of apples.  And that’s not all!  Throughout most of the year, growers encourage visitors of all ages to pick their own fruit or vegetables like peaches, strawberries, blueberries, nectarines, beans and pumpkins and enjoy hayrides, animal petting and baked goods.

Stop by the Johnny Appleseed Trail Visitor Center in Lancaster, about 45 minutes from Boston, to pick up a copy of the Guide to the Johnny Appleseed Trail and check the many seasonal offerings.
