Gooney Manor on Tour Highlighting Warren County Homes
Garden Week 1992 in Warren County features Browntown Bentonville area sites on April 25 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Two Browntown houses and a church, plus a Bentonville and a Limeton home, are on the route with lunch at Browntown Community Center. The Gooney Manor lands, once Lafayette Updike Farm, span 102.50 acres, now reduced to 11.75 after 1986 purchase, reflecting local history from mid-1700s settlers to post Civil War development. Preserved on site is Abraham Brown’s mill area connected to Gooney Run and the Gooney Manor property’s long lineage.

Ol' Time Photo faucet Updike Bursts Through Historic House Facade
The Abraham Brown House, torn earlier, stands now stuccoed as a two story wood structure with 11 rooms and a connected summer kitchen. Carrs restored it with electricity and plumbing in the 1940s, added porches, and preserved 40 plus original wavy glass windows. Exhibits of Mrs. Carrs needlework and theorem paintings fill rooms while a brick patio and usable old well, covered spring house, and a modern pool mark the backyard. The house opens to visitors for the first time, reachable via green arrows across Gooney Creek.
