Roy Brown Museum
Flying a Sopwith Camel in World War I, Captain Roy Brown, a son of Carleton Place, brought an end to the legendary Red Baron and his Flying Circus over a remote field in France.
In the course of protecting Lt. Wilfred May, an inexperienced pilot and high school chum, Brown is said to have downed the most infamous fighter pilot of the entire war!
To learn more, visit the Roy Brown Museum and Information Centre, located in the log house across from the Town Hall. A restoration of the first homestead in town, the building serves triple duty as a museum, visitor information centre and home to the Carleton Place and District Chamber of Commerce.
