The most historic home in Pittsburg and the most notable in its history is the house built by David H. Abernathy and his wife Mary Lou Pitts Abernathy in 1896. The Abernathy house located on the corner of Texas and Quitman streets has now been identi ed by the State of Texas as an historical landmark. The dedication ceremony was held Friday, April 8, with Mayor Shawn Kennington, as master-of-ceremonies. In his opening remarks the Mayor said, “I hope that when we drive by and see the historical marker and the Abernathy house venue sign that we will take note that we should remember where we have been, and look forward to where we are going.”
