The house and furnishings are beautiful and the tour is well done. We always take out of town guests here and they are very taken by it.

I cannot count the number of times I've been to the Reynolda House since I've been living in Winston-Salem. But the tour at Christmas was the best I've ever seen. Now do not expect to see outlandish or over the top decorations. All decorations are tasteful as to not take away from the normal decor of the home. Seeing how... More

This is a wonderful place to spend a leisurely afternoon. I recommend making a day of it. The gardens are beautiful. You can spend hours just viewing the lovely landscape and wildlife. Picnic outside or just hang out. Some people even nap, read, or play frisbee. This was the home of RJ Reynolds, the tobacco company founder and a throw... More

A wonder collection in the house, which is itself fascinating (built by RJReynold's wife/widow). Changing exhibitions, gardens, events.

I had a hour to view the home. I usually like to spend a half day exploring and taking my time to enjoy all the "gifts" that a Museum has to offer. I went later in the day, on a Tuesday, and had a hour before closing. No lines, no peering over heads of crowds of people to view the... More
