HISTORIC HOME

Brown's Park and Memorial Home

Abilene, KS | Dickinson County

C.L. Brown, founder of what became Sprint (now owned by T-Mobile), built this still-operating retirement facility in 1928 as a memorial to his parents. You are welcome to stop at this historic home and ask for a tour. During daylight hours you may drive through this serene area even beyond the 'private property' sign. Along the park's curving roads you'll see the stone buildings used as a backdrop for the Easter Sunrise Pageant that started in 1946, a Boy Scout camp, disc golf course, and nature trails.
