The Cleo Redd Fisher Museum in Loudonville is celebrating the 250th birthday of John Chapman, better known as Johnny Appleseed, with an exhibit dedicated to his life and legacy.  The exhibit will be at the museum through October 11th, before it is turned into a traveling display for schools, libraries and other museums.  The exhibit offers a detailed look at Chapman’s life, the importance of apples on the frontier and the evolution of his legacy. It also separates fact from fiction including addressing the famous myth about whether Chapman wore a pot on his head.  Admission to the museum and the exhibit is free.
