Brown Mountain, North Carolina

Brown Mountain is an unincorporated community in Stokes County, North Carolina, United States.

Located north of the Sauratown Mountain range with a peak of 1580 feet above sea level, the Brown Mountain community lays claim to one of only two privately owned "peaks" in Stokes County; all others are within the NC State Park system.

In 1930, the Reynolds Foundation paid for the construction of two wings adjoining the original building.

A memorial gift that still provides for the school today is an endowment set up after the death of Kate Bitting Reynolds, Will's wife, with the yearly dividends to be used solely for the upkeep of grounds, exterior beautification projects and playground equipment.

As of 2008, the endowment's total value is now more than three-quarters of a million dollars and easily supports its intended use.
