I knew nothing about Cherry City until Maine family so kindly adopted this coin out to me. I would like to see it travel to a cache in Salem, Oregon and then return to Milo, Maine. I would appreciate any pictures of places it visits on its way.
The story of Salem's cherry industry begins in 1847 when pioneer nurseryman Henderson Lewelling (also spelled Luelling) arrived from Iowa. Lewelling brought with him 700 tiny fruit trees in earth filled boxes. Shortly after arriving in the Willamette Valley, Lewelling took up a land claim near Milwaukee where he established an orchard and the first nursery in the Northwest. In 1850, he was joined in the enterprise by his brother, Seth, and William Meek, who had married one of his daughters. By 1851, the Lewelling nursery had over 18,000 fruit trees ready for sale. This allowed them to establish branch nurseries at Salem and Albany. (No pun intended.)
Please search Cherry City on the Internet to find out more about Salem, Oregon and the cherry industry.
