Exterior upgrades included adding handicapped accessible doors, a dog walking station, a shaded area for picnic tables, new security cameras, new seasonal banners on the lampposts, fresh landscaping and new interpretive displays that help tell the story of North Central Massachusetts. Additionally, the famous \u201cBig Apple of New England\u201d sculpture was repaired. Inside the center, the layout was reconfigured and new floors, rugs, office furniture, signage, a water bottle refilling station, and rustic wall paneling were added. Upgrades to the electronic screens inside the center are currently being completed.<\/p>\n<p>The renovations and upgrades cost $162,455 and were partially funded through a matching Destination Development Grant from the Massachusetts Office of Travel and Tourism. Matching funds came from a grant from the City of Leominster and from the Johnny Appleseed Trail Association (DBA Visit North Central Massachusetts). Donations of the office furniture were provided by AIS, Inc. in Leominster.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.northcentralmass.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/10-Unveil-New-and-Improved-Johnny-Appleseed-Visitors-Center-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-18068 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.northcentralmass.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/10-Unveil-New-and-Improved-Johnny-Appleseed-Visitors-Center-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"Keiko Orrall, Unveil New and Improved Johnny Appleseed Visitors Center\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.northcentralmass.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/10-Unveil-New-and-Improved-Johnny-Appleseed-Visitors-Center-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.northcentralmass.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/10-Unveil-New-and-Improved-Johnny-Appleseed-Visitors-Center-1030x687.jpg 1030w, https:\/\/www.northcentralmass.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/10-Unveil-New-and-Improved-Johnny-Appleseed-Visitors-Center-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.northcentralmass.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/10-Unveil-New-and-Improved-Johnny-Appleseed-Visitors-Center-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.northcentralmass.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/10-Unveil-New-and-Improved-Johnny-Appleseed-Visitors-Center-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.northcentralmass.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/10-Unveil-New-and-Improved-Johnny-Appleseed-Visitors-Center-1500x1000.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/www.northcentralmass.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/10-Unveil-New-and-Improved-Johnny-Appleseed-Visitors-Center-705x470.jpg 705w, https:\/\/www.northcentralmass.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/10-Unveil-New-and-Improved-Johnny-Appleseed-Visitors-Center-450x300.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.northcentralmass.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/10-Unveil-New-and-Improved-Johnny-Appleseed-Visitors-Center-scaled.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a>More than 100 local dignitaries and community leaders were on hand at yesterday\u2019s event.

Named after American pioneer and folk hero, John Chapman (aka Johnny Appleseed) the 2,000 sq.ft. center is operated by the Johnny Appleseed Trail Association which does business under the name Visit North Central Massachusetts. In addition to the popular \u201cBig Apple of New England\u201d sculpture, the center also features a bronze sculpture of the young Johnny Appleseed that greets visitors outside the doors of the Johnny Appleseed Visitors\u2019 Center. There are also 91 apple trees located on the premises, including three Rambo trees that are direct descendants of the last remaining tree known to be planted by Johnny Appleseed. The center also houses a collection of historical and cultural items that showcase the region\u2019s heritage. Unique historical items in the center\u2019s collection include a vintage Iver Johnson bicycle, pieces of equipment from the region\u2019s agricultural past, vintage Wachusett Mountain Ski Area items, and a large collection of Johnny Appleseed memorabilia.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.northcentralmass.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/13-Unveil-New-and-Improved-Johnny-Appleseed-Visitors-Center-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-18071 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/www.northcentralmass.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/13-Unveil-New-and-Improved-Johnny-Appleseed-Visitors-Center-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.northcentralmass.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/13-Unveil-New-and-Improved-Johnny-Appleseed-Visitors-Center-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.northcentralmass.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/13-Unveil-New-and-Improved-Johnny-Appleseed-Visitors-Center-1030x687.jpg 1030w, https:\/\/www.northcentralmass.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/13-Unveil-New-and-Improved-Johnny-Appleseed-Visitors-Center-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.northcentralmass.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/13-Unveil-New-and-Improved-Johnny-Appleseed-Visitors-Center-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.northcentralmass.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/13-Unveil-New-and-Improved-Johnny-Appleseed-Visitors-Center-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.northcentralmass.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/13-Unveil-New-and-Improved-Johnny-Appleseed-Visitors-Center-1500x1000.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/www.northcentralmass.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/13-Unveil-New-and-Improved-Johnny-Appleseed-Visitors-Center-705x470.jpg 705w, https:\/\/www.northcentralmass.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/13-Unveil-New-and-Improved-Johnny-Appleseed-Visitors-Center-450x300.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.northcentralmass.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/13-Unveil-New-and-Improved-Johnny-Appleseed-Visitors-Center-scaled.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a>In 2021, the North Central Massachusetts Chamber of Commerce announced a new regional economic development plan, One North Central, which recommended new ways to expand the existing center, and showcase the history and heritage of the region while adding amenities to modernize the facility.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThrough One North Central, we learned a lot about how to upgrade the center in an effort to provide a unique experience for visitors,\u201d said Roy Nascimento, President and CEO, North Central Massachusetts Chamber of Commerce and Visit North Central Massachusetts. \u201cThe upgrades and renovations to the visitor center will create an experience to link visitors to destinations in the region while providing a modern facility to rest and recharge before continuing on their journey through North Central and beyond.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The center is open seven days a week, 361 days a year from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. It only closes on Thanksgiving, Christmas, Easter, Independence Day and early on Christmas Eve.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Renovations aimed to modernize the facility and showcase the region to the more than 165,000 visitors annually Local officials and community leaders joined members of Visit North Central Massachusetts, the official destination marketing organization representing the 27 communities of North Central Massachusetts, yesterday to celebrate recent renovations and upgrades to the Johnny Appleseed Visitors\u2019 Center.
