The Legend of Johnny Appleseed

Young library patrons learned about John Chapman, the man…..and Johnny Appleseed, the legend!

Johnny Appleseed was an American pioneer nurseryman who

traveled throughout Pennsylvania, Ohio, Illinois, Indiana and

West Virginia, planting apple trees from apple seeds.

An eccentric man he traveled barefoot and legend has it he

carried his cook pot on his head like a hat.

Children planted apple seeds and tasted the many ways we

enjoy the tasty apple today: apple slices with caramel, apple butter,

apple juice, and apple cider.
