Town itself
is small surrounded close by with older homes, some large, some small. The best attraction
of Pineville is Belle Johnston Community Center…absolutely wonderful and quite off
the beaten path. Beyond the surface of
all the highways and by-ways, Pineville still has much of its original folksiness and
charm… you just have to go back into the neighborhoods.
“James
K. Polk Homesite and House Museum. Guided tours and free admission to this reconstructed
1795 birthplace of the eleventh President of the U. S. James K. Polk. He won the White
House in 1844 with the slogan “ Fifty-four Forty or Fight.”
Visit the log house and separate log kitchen and view the visitors’ center
exhibits and orientation film on the life and times of Polk, who grew up on this
once-rural site and later moved to Tennessee. Operated by the North Carolina Department of
Archives and History and located just south of Highway 51 and the town of Pineville.”
