The site of Brownie's (across Rt. 18) originally was a small barn, with living quarters upstairs and a meat market with a frozen food locker attached to the rear. On the 1960's, the owner converted the front of this barn from a butcher shop into an ice cream stand, which became the popular summer gathering spot it still is today. The original barn and locker were destroyed by fire and the present building was built on the same site. The name "Brownie's" is derived from the nickname of Francis Brown, father of Nancy (Brown) Rohring, who, along with her husband David, are the current proprietors (2012). Tuscarora Park Club House. Wilson Frozen Food Locker (now Brownie's) circa 1950's. ~ as told by C. F. Horton
