the 1902 bank building, four cemeteries and two churches.
Visitors are welcome at the 11:00AM worship services.
The Town of
Pine Apple was founded in 1825. Historic housing dates from
1850's to 1950 containing many fine examples of homes from 1870
through the early 1900's, a particularly valuable period when not many
structures were built elsewhere in the Black Belt region of
Alabama. The Pine Apple Historic District is on the National
Register of Historic Places. House styles in Pine Apple include
antebellum planter style, central passage houses, coastal/creole
cottage types, one story T and L plan cottages, high style Queen Anne,
Colonial, Revival and Craftsman.
Entertainment
on our town Gazebo for the 4th Annual event features
story-teller Kathryn Tucker Windham. The front porches on tour
are marked with pineapple signs in the front yards. Refreshments
are being served on several specially marked front porches.
Restroom facilities are available at Pine apple Promotions
Headquarters at Moore Academy and in town at the Library/Fire
Department. Box lunches are available at the headquarters which
has a dining room. Picnic areas are in town at the
Gazebo.
