Centre, Alabama - Grave of the Typewriter Inventor

The grave of typewriter inventor John Pratt is located among other graves on a knoll and within a designated park. There are plenty of pine and some magnolia trees. Concrete walkways provide easy access to the cemetery portion of the park. There are also picnic tables available near a parking area across from the cemetery. This is a great history enthusiast site. [Barry, 12/24/2008]
