Henry County,

1821 from the
Delaware New
Purchase. The

The Legend of
the Raintree
"Legendary
Johnny Appleseed,
wandered the
Midwest carrying
among his apple
seeds a single,
exotic seed ...
from a golden
raintree.
Looking for a
place where it
would flourish
and grow, he
planted it
somewhere here
in Henry County.
Legend has it
that those who
find the
raintree
discover the
realization of
all dreams."
"From the
historical novel
and movie,
Raintree County"
