The broom factory started in Brown Summit in 1895 although the current clapboard building was not constructed until 1937. In its heyday, over 400 dozen brooms were made per week by the ten employees.
Brown Summit, NC is an unincorporated town, located within Guilford County, northeast of Greensboro. While their is some real history here, there are several new developments of huge homes popping up all over this town, hopefully those new developments will honor the rich history within this town.
