Brown, F. W., Founder of Brown's Vineyard. Bio-sketch. (SCE 5 Sep 1903)
Frederick W. Brown (Braun) and his wife Anna came from New Orleans to Bay St. Louis-Waveland in the early 1860's. Frederick and Anna were natives of Germany. In March of 1867 the Browns purchased a plot of land from Lorenzo Corte in Section 34, Township 8 Range 14 West in Hancock County. Included in this sale was live stock, mules, cows, hogs, farming utensils and house of furniture. It had been a business of Mr. Browns to make wine and on this location he also added the machines and the equipment to make the wine which was to become famous all over the United States.
In the year 1912 Frederick and Anna added to their property holding 43 more acres which they bought from A. A. McCue. This property ran to Nicholson Avenue, and back to the highway to where the Old Spanish Trail and the Highway intersect. It was at this location they planted the Scuppernog Grape vines on approximately 15 acres of their land. As the vines grew arbors approximately ten feet square and eight feet high and about ten feet apart were erected, these arbors allowed the visitors to walk under and pick grapes off the vines.
Brown's Vineyard soon became a One Family garden spot of beauty located near the pine woods some five miles from Bay St. Louis. Mr. Brown's wine soon became popular and the Scuppernog Champagne Wine was served with the bread that was made by his wife Anna. Popularity grew and about 1905, Tally-Ho wagons with a double team of horses would carry hotel guests of the Pickwick, Tulane and Clifton Hotels to Brown's Vineyard to drink the wine and eat the bread and dance.
