Museum On Saturday, Aug. 24 at 10 :30 a.m., "Johnny Appleseed" will be at the Museum. Everyone is welcome to a lively presentation about John- ny Appleseed, an early 19th cen- tury folk hero, as told by storytell- er, teacher and interpreter, Steven MacPhail. MacPhail is a high school histo- ry teacher and has researched the character of Johnny Appleseed ex- tensively. He tries to portray John- ny Appleseed as accurately as possi- ble. He clothes himself in the cloth- ing common to frontiersman of the early 19th century, carries a bag of seeds to hand out, and another bag with interesting trinkets. MacPhail, as Johnny, introduc- es himself and tells about his life on the Frontier as a real character from 1800 through the 1840s. He talks about the Frontier customs, geography, and disproves some of the legends surrounding the char- acter of Johnny Appleseed. Johnny's love for children and ani- mals is very evident as he describes contacts with both. Johnny's early life is discussed along with his atti- tude about life and his relationship with God and others, both Indian and White man. Time for questions is given at the end of every perfor- mance to promote audience partic- ipation.
