Brantwood History

Brantwood Camp was the dream child of one man, the Reverend Donald Browne, an Episcopal clergyman from Massachusetts. Browne had first visited the mountainside between Greenfield and Peterborough, New Hampshire in 1900, and he had named it “Brantwood” because its magnificent view was reminiscent of the one from John Ruskin’s famous hillside home of that name, located in England’s Lake District.  Many decades later, Browne’s dream and simple start has expanded into two campuses both with several recreational areas, rustic structures, pools and even land at nearby Silver Lake.
