Don Brown was interviewed in 2023 at Brown’s Tent & Trailer Park. He describes the history of the Park, beginning with his father and mother, Bryce and Bernice Brown. Originally a farm, the property was transformed over the decades into a profitable business.  Don talks about his family, the building of the schoolhouse, how cabins were eventually replaced with cabins, and the park property’s expansion for camping. He describes why the family purchased the Whip-Poor-Lodge property and consolidated it into the Park and the challenge of meeting the needs of tourists in this never-before-seen video.
