Brown's Peak

Thanks to John Cahill, we now know of this interesting private area that operated in Shrewsbury! Donald Brown and his wife Mary purchased a falling down 1724 era farmhouse that crowned the summit of 55 acres of hillside on High St. hill, in Shrewsbury, MA. The Browns moved into a temporary shelter on the property (along with their then 5 children, all under the age of 6), and began the work of restoring the farmhouse. Brown somehow managed to find the time outside of family and his medical practice to layout and begin building a small ski area on the acreage below their home.
