History of the Appleseed Restaurant



The Appleseed Restaurant was once a
home and a barn, as you can see in the
picture on the left. However, not a great
deal is known about the history of the
property and its structure. The building
 was once used as a bed and breakfast
and was operated as the Lakeside Inn.
Bert and Ida Messer lived here at some
point, we have a copy of a coach
(carriage) estimate that they were sent.

In these days trains still brought visitors
up to the lakes region from all points south.
In the picture below you can see the
railroad trestle in the background.
The small cottage that is visible in this picture
is called a take down house, and we still
have the bill of sale in the restaurant.

When the Fentons purchased the restaurant
it was already called the Appleseed Inn.

The exact origin of this name is unknown,
but the Fentons later changed the name to
the Appleseed Restaurant to more accurately
reflect its operations.

  

"You were superb!  Everyone commented on your great presentation, your care, the
quality and yumminess of the food.  We can't thank you enough, also for going out of your way
to come with your son to make sure all goes well before the occasion."
