Chopin
A visitor to Szafarnia, aged 14 and 15, was Frédéric Chopin, who was a guest of Juliusz Dziewanowski, father of Chopin's schoolmate Dominik Dziewanowski.[2]
The manor where Chopin stayed during his 1824 and 1825 summer vacations, has been turned into a museum.[3]
It was here that young Chopin wrote his famous Kuriery Szafarskie (Szafarnia Couriers) spoofing the Warsaw newspapers.

gollark: Because I was really lazy, the metadata thing *also* contains the keys `type` (always equals `message`) and `channel` and `message`.
gollark: Yep!
gollark: Plus the IDs which received it.
