1910 Gin hosts shops, exhibits and events
Established in the late 1800s, 1910 Gin was lovingly coined “Hump” by locals, as it rested between two humps in the road, separated by the river. Witness Alabama’s aviation history firsthand at the facility which displays the Quick Airplane. William Quick was working on his flying machine in 1900, around the same time as the Wright Brothers, though he was unaware of his competition. The Wright Brothers were the first to get their kite up in the air in 1903, and Quick became Alabama’s first aviator in 1908 when his monoplane took flight. While the Wright Brothers got their design airborne faster, Quick’s monoplane forged the way for the single-wing planes of today. Visitors can see the original aircraft that revolutionized aviation. You can also see some of the area’s old cotton gin history, with Quick’s Mill, one of Alabama’s first cotton gins sitting by the venue. Within it, a vintage 1920s diesel engine remains.
Within 1910 Gin is MoonPie John’s Mercantile, a general store. The store didn’t always go by this name—it was dedicated to a beloved community leader. John Houston Taylor II started his career as an entrepreneur when he was just a young boy delivering groceries on his bike. It was at the little country store that he met the love of his life, Ruth. Everyone in the community knew John. He’d hand peppermints out to kids just to make them smile. He’d visit neighbors who were sick or hospitalized and give them a MoonPie to ease their suffering. He considered it his calling to help bring his community joy. When John passed away at 96, he left a legacy of generosity and kindness. The old general store where he met was renamed in his honor, and aims to continue this legacy. The store has its own long history, built in 1899. Locals would come by horse and buggy to deliver cotton to the gin and buy corn meal from the store. The store’s front porch was the spot for catching up with neighbors and more than a little bit of gossip. Today, the store offers unique gifts, vintage candy, fresh coffee, ice cream, soda pops and lunch at the attached Full of Baloney Café.
