Sign on Route 2 west as you enter Leominster. Leominster is the birthplace of Johnny Appleseed and also the home of the original pink lawn flamingo.
The mayor of Leominster woke up on the morning of his fortieth birthday to find pink lawn flamingos on his front lawn. The number of the flamingos was equal to the number of candles on his cake!
John Chapman aka Johnny Appleseed is a favorite son of Leominster. To show their appreciation for his birth in their city, Leominster decorates their signs with apples.
