Brown's Resort
Brown's Resort was a tourist resort at English River, on the Trans-Canada Highway west of Thunder Bay, Ontario. It was founded by Burt Brown.[1]
History
In 1935 Burt Brown cut down the first tree at English River, on the then-uncompleted Trans-Canada Highway, and built a service station there. It grew into what his obituary calls "the popular and internationally known Brown's Resort". Brown ran the business until he retired in 1967.[1]
