In Charleston, the pineapple is more than just a fruit, it’s a symbol of hospitality.
Dating back to colonial times, sea captains would place a pineapple outside their homes to signal they had safely returned and to welcome friends and neighbors inside. Today, you’ll see pineapples carved into gates, fountains, and architecture throughout the city, a reminder that everyone who arrives is meant to feel at home.
The pineapple isn’t just decoration… it’s an invitation to the beautiful city of Charleston!
