#DidYouKnow Johnny Appleseed was born #OnThisDay in 1774? 🤔 Johnny Appleseed – originally from Massachusetts – is credited with planting apple tree nurseries throughout Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Ohio, Illinois and Indiana.

He eventually settled in Fort Wayne, Indiana, after his travels brought him to the western frontier. The @tincaps are even named in his honor!

This children's book in our collection highlights Johnny Appleseed's life and was written by Indiana author Mabel Leigh Hunt in 1950 – more than 100 years after his death.
