  • Description
  • In eastern Monroeville, Thompson’s Brook runs through a hollow along the busy highway. In the 1870s this quiet backwater, once part of the Elliott farm, was the site of a one-room schoolhouse. By the 1940s, city dwellers were bringing their campers to campsites there. In time, some were kept on site on a more permanent basis; eventually Brookside Mobile Home Park evolved from a camp ground to a trailer park.
