Lewis E. Brown Community Center

The Lewis E. Brown Community Center, affectionately known as “The Lewie,” is named in honor of Lewis E. Brown, a long-time resident of Edgerton, Ohio, whose generosity and vision left a lasting impact on the community. Following his passing in 1977, Mr. Brown’s will gifted approximately 40 acres of land to the Village of Edgerton to be used exclusively for public park and community purposes. He also designated funds for future park improvements, demonstrating his commitment to creating spaces that would benefit generations to come.

Mr. Brown’s wishes included preserving a portion of the wooded land as a natural area for the community to enjoy. His legacy of community investment, stewardship, and public service continues today through the Lewis E. Brown Community Center, a place designed to bring people together and serve the residents of Edgerton for years to come.
