Sandra Scott Travels: Arbor Day Has Its Roots In Adams, NY
I am always amazed at the small world connections I find when I am traveling. Recently, John and I toured the Arbor Lodge State Historical Park in Nebraska City, Nebraska, and we were surprised to learn that the founder of Arbor Day, J. Sterling Morton, was born in Adams on April 22, 1832. Adams has been designated The Arbor Day Village and celebrates Arbor Day yearly with a festive on Morton’s birthday which is also Arbor Day.
