Reynolda, located in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, is a rare gem among the nation’s cultural institutions, offering an unparalleled blend of art, history, and nature. At its heart is Reynolda House Museum of American Art, home to an exceptional collection of works by America’s most noted artists, displayed within the restored 1917 home of Katharine and Richard Joshua (R. J.) Reynolds. Spanning 250 years of painting, prints, sculpture, photography, and video art, the collection has been shaped by the discerning eye of Barbara Babcock Millhouse, granddaughter of the estate’s original owners. Highlights include works by Albert Bierstadt, William Merritt Chase, Frederic Edwin Church, Chuck Close, Stuart Davis, Arthur Dove, Lee Krasner, Georgia O’Keeffe, Nam June Paik, Martin Puryear, Gilbert Stuart, and Grant Wood. The museum also houses an extensive decorative arts and estate archive collection and presents exhibitions from all periods in the Charles and Mary Babcock Wing. Beyond the museum, Reynolda Gardens offers a stunning natural retreat with formal gardens, meadows, and walking trails, continuing Katharine Reynolds’ vision of a thriving estate landscape. Nearby, Reynolda Village—set within the estate’s original farm and service buildings—now welcomes visitors with a vibrant mix of boutiques, restaurants, and wellness spaces, blending historic charm with modern-day discovery.
