We have a deed and Power of Attorney written in German, Treaty between the United States and Miami Nations of Indians dated 1912, and probably two of our most famous documents is a Lease dated 1830 for land to plant an apple nursery by John Chapman (Johnny Appleseed) and a receipt to John Chapman dated 1833 for 40 apple trees as payment for the lease.
