Johnny Appleseed Grave Hard to find, but so well worth it. It's behind the Coliseum, on Parnell. There's a small drive that has cement blockers on tghe right (past Ridgewood Dr.). Park car, walk straight ahead, go up hill. You can ask the guard at gate for the Coliseum by stoplight to park there if no show is going on. [Mari, 04/17/2011]
