Hospitality in eighteenth century Virginia gained the state the reputation as the land of hospitality. The colonists in the English custom displayed pineapples as a sign of welcome on doorways, gateposts and garden walls. Fresh pineapples were used as the center of table arrangements and as a main feature of Christmas decorations. The tradition of warm hospitality is cherished and continued by today's Virginia hostesses.
