Help save Johnny Appleseed work By Betsy Coffman - Contributing writer Browne Hall was the final structure to house the Johnny Appleseed collection at the now-defunct Urbana University. With Franklin University now attempting to sell the campus, the collection must find a new home. Pictured at right is a red banner denoting the former Appleseed presence at Browne Hall. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Franklin University permanently closed Urbana University in March of 2020. This closure shuttered The Johnny Appleseed Education Center and Museum, sealing off its collection from the public.
