History
In 1924, Brown County State Game Preserve was opened to the public. In 1929, Brown County commissioners gave just over 1,000 acres (4.0 km2) of land adjacent to the Game Preserve for Brown County State Park. Later, the game preserve lands were sold to the Dept. of Conservation and added to the state park. In 1934, the Civilian Conservation Corps constructed many of the buildings, roads, shelters, ovens and trails in existence today.
