Pinopolis
Pinopolis is one of the quaintest little
villages found in the Carolinas. It is especially lovely in
the spring when the flowers native to this section are in
bloom.
Set hack from the road in this village, we find a
small white frame church, with a white columned portico. It is
almost hidden from view by the large trees covered with moss
and wistaria.
As the early records of the church are
not dated, the exact year in which it was erected is not
known, but as the old altar prayer book bears this
inscription, "Pinopolis, from the Whiteville Chapel, 1847", it
is believed that it was built about 1845.
The church
was built for summer colonists from the surrounding
plantations and for many years was used only during the summer
months.
