Southern Pines: Moore County Horse Country
Southern Pines is in Moore County, immediately adjacent to Pinehurst in the sandhills of south-central North Carolina. The town was founded in 1884 as a winter resort for visitors from the Northeast seeking warmer climates. Like Pinehurst, the community developed around healthful living, golf, and equestrian activities, though Southern Pines has always carried a slightly more residential character than its resort neighbor.
The Walthour-Moss Foundation protects 4,000 acres of sandhills land around Southern Pines for equestrian use, primarily foxhunting and trail riding. The Moore County Hounds, founded in 1914, is one of the oldest recognized foxhunts in the United States. Weymouth Woods-Sandhills Nature Preserve, a state-protected area adjacent to Southern Pines, preserves longleaf pine forest and hosts the Sandhills Longleaf Pine Forest Association.
The Weymouth Center for the Arts and Humanities operates in the former residence of author James Boyd, whose novels about colonial and revolutionary America drew national recognition in the 1920s and 1930s. The center hosts writers-in-residence and literary events. Downtown Southern Pines retains a compact commercial district along Broad Street, with independent retailers, restaurants, and the Sunrise Theater.
