Celebrating the 250th Birthday of John Chapman
The Bucyrus Historical Society will host local students for its Great Apple Give-Away Day on Friday, September 13, 2024, in celebration of the 250th birthday of John Chapman (also known as Johnny Appleseed). Students will learn the history of Johnny Appleseed (born September 26, 1774), receive a free apple, and have an opportunity to help make and taste applesauce the old-fashioned way! Students will also enjoy touring the historic Scroggs House and visit the Carriage House to learn more about the history of Bucyrus and surrounding townships in Crawford County.
