Early pioneer and homesteader David Brown Sr. gave his twin sons - David and Peter - for their 21st birthdays, 40 acres each of the logged hilltop of the property.
The two immediately began planting exotic species of trees from around the world.
The brothers lived on the property all their lives, becoming more solitary and eccentric. They eventually built a two-storey tree house and lived there together for many years. And although their bachelor abode burned down on more than one occasion, it was rebuilt and is still a feature of the park.
Today Redwood Park is a major collection of exotic trees, particularly evergreens.
