Heading West on Route 2 from Leominster
Leominster wears a couple of nicknames — the "Pioneer Plastics City" for its comb-and-plastics manufacturing past, and it's also the 1774 birthplace of John Chapman, better known as Johnny Appleseed. That heritage still shows: Sholan Farms, the 169-acre city-owned orchard off Route 12, is the last working apple orchard in town. When you point the car west toward Athol the drive is genuinely convenient — the Johnny Appleseed Visitor Center sits right on Route 2 Westbound between Exits 103 and 102, so you'll pass it on the way out of the region.

We're honest that Leominster and Fitchburg have adult-use shops closer to home. What earns the drive is a smaller, locally-owned counter, unhurried service, and easy free parking.
