Adam Brown


Adam Brown served as the Red Rock Light Tower keeper from 1898 to 1937, the longest span of any keeper in the Parry Sound area. A former fisherman from the neighbouring Mink Islands, he manned it until he was 75 years of age. He passed away in 1968 at 106, his name and role chiselled into the rock beside the tower for posterity.
