Covid protocol in place, make a reservation to get in. I highly recommend visiting, lots to see, lots of folks on the trails. We got to see the Tiffany exhibit, spectacular. Easy parking, plus you have the Village to explore and shop, you could spend hours here, plenty of food choices. Please visit.
Beautiful. Really enjoyed everything especially the outside. Go on a nice day to really take advantage of the time.
Can her on community day for free and it was awesome seeing the Jackson Pollock painting and check off my list for things are needed to do before I die there is a great old building the has a cool pool bowling alley and bar and awesome sunken garden that you should take your kids and if you like taking pictures of flowers its
Beautiful! Would highly recommend to art lovers!
Really cool place to indulge in some history and spend the day.
I love coming here to draw. To gardens, to the bungalow-styled Renolda house, to the greenhouse- every part of this place is beautiful. The art collection is astounding, the gardens are wonderfully kept, and I love coming at 2:30 to hear the organ play!I am happy I get to visit whenever I want for free, because I am a student (The art museum you have to pay for entry- the gardens and area around are open to the public). But even if i had to pay to get into the museum, it is 100% worth it. You get to tour through the house, learn the history of the estate, the family, and see an amazing collection of art!
Very interesting historical home in Winston-Salem, NC. The attached art gallery is a nice bonus. Love the pipe organ and indoor pool. (Id love to swim in it) Be sure to check out the formal gardens. There is a beautiful hike from the house along the brook.
Really peaceful and fun to visit. The house and grounds are fun to explore. If youre a college student, make sure to bring your ID. You can get free admission!
Doesn’t disappoint not even on a rainy day. Beautiful relaxing and I met the lovely lady at the greenhouse. Very polite and welcoming. Leaves you wanting to go back which I will.
I have been coming here for years and absolutely love it. The main house is lovely to explore, especially the attic where historic clothing and toys are on display. The museum has a great selection of American art, and the wing has excellent rotating exhibits. The grounds are beautiful to explore on a sunny day, especially the botanical garden and the trails by the lake behind the house.
There is a lot to see at this museum! Dont forget the art exhibit! So much to see here! The Gardens are free to walk through but the House can be expensive for a group. But they do offer discounts for Students of the local University and Military/Veterans as well!
What a wonderful place for children and adults alike. We have been members for over 2 years & our 3 year old has learned so much from this facility. The staff are super friendly and accommodating. We have been over 30 times. They showcase different areas quite often. They are growing as well as expanding.
I would definitely recommend stopping here on a day trip to Winston-Salem. (I actually found it more appealing than Old Salem which is interesting but kind of predictable.) This house is available to tour and truly has some -unique- rooms and flourishings. I wont give too much away, but definitely make sure you check out the basement! In addition, these grounds include gardens, a greenhouse, walking trails, and even a mini village with shops that were all once part of this estate. It really is worth the trip! The only reason I would give it 4/5 stars is that I would have preferred if they had someone to give a live tour vs. an audio tour. Other than that, great spot!
A little overpriced but interesting and worth a visit. Great location for a long walk in the woods and through Wake Forest campus.
What a great small collection of American artwork. Ive been here multiple times and always notice something new. The art is rotated regularly and the museum exhibits allow you to really take in the art rather than be overwhelmed by so many pieces in larger collections. The docents are informative and if you are taking in the house tour, I recommend the audio guide.
Beautiful place to take pictures, take a walk, relax, shop or have a nice meal. You can enjoy a little bit of everything.
Amazingly beautiful gardens. The house tour was great. Couldnt believe all luxuries built into The house. If you go, plan to spend the day as there is a lot to see and they have shops and restaurants too in their little village.
A small and relaxed space displaying some of America’s finest artists, in a beautiful setting. As part of the Reynolda House itself, one is forced to take in the natural surroundings when arriving if only for the exhibit alone. A great experience for all ages, if the weather cooperates. Just sometimes, I wish there were more pieces of the main event and a little less filler. But whatever, this place has good fengshui.
Wonderful rotating exhibits of American art, plus lectures, films, and workshops on artists and periods by professors from Wake Forest Univ. as well as visiting experts. An added bonus is the art displayed in Reynolda House itself - the home of the Reynolds family whose sire founded the Reynolds Tobacco Company. Check out original works by Grant Wood, Lee Krasner, and Frederick Remington among many others. Furnished in grand style with period European/American pieces and sporting a display of clothing and personal items used by the family, Reynolda House offers offers a peek into the lives of the early 20th century super rich. Dont forget to go downstairs for the bar, the indoor shooting range, bowling alley, squash court, gorgeous swimming pool, plus more art including vintage magazine covers. Set in more than 100 acres, Reynolda House offers great walking trails some of which lead to Reynolda Gardens, to local shops and restaurants in Reynolda Village, and to the campus of Wake Forest University.
Plenty of space for my dog to run around. The place was beautiful but this was before any flowers were blooming/planted. Will definitely pay a visit when the flowers are here!
Had the privilege of having a group tour with Louise. Wow! She was fabulous. I learned so much and her delivery was perfect. The history is amazing, and the art collection is superior! Had a great experience.
The admission price stuns a bit ($17) but its a good place. I had a nice guide, and theres a good app to give visitors a quick acquaintance with the houses history. There are several paintings by nationally known artists. I enjoyed. And theres the whole Reynolda Village to enjoy.
Its a beautiful property. I love that the collection rotates and is displayed throughout the house just as the Reynolds might have showcased it. And the downstairs recreational facilities are amazing. That pool! The deco bar! What a way to live.
Excellent museum. We even got to see an art exhibit they had in the lower level. I highly recommend seeing this house and gardens.
Going to Reynolds House is always a joy for me. The house is beautiful and they do change the in- house exhibits so there is always something new to see. Their featured exhibits are always well researched and presented. I have seen the following at the house: OKeefe, Dorothea Lange, and, most recently, Hopper to Pollock exhibits.The venue is small and the exhibits are usually all on one level. In contrast to huge museums(which are a delight in their own right), you are not overwhelmed by the venue and thus makes viewing the special exhibits a relaxing pleasure.The gardens are beautiful and I am looking forward to returning when all is in bloom. The staff is also excellent. My only regret is that it is about 2 hours away from where I live.
My favorite part of the museum is the rotating gallery. I have seen some great art shows here. The house is beautiful and interesting. I would also check out the gardens.
Nice place! If you are looking just to go for a walk you can do it here. If you would like to know more about the history of Reynolda family the ticket is worth it. Also without paying ticket you can access to the common areas, restaurants, stores, bakery and others where the environment is so cool.
Wonderful way to spend a day. Coolest basement ever. Perfect for art lovers, architecture enthusiasts and history buffs
Thanks to the Reynolds granddaughter who basically created this museum/landmark, the collection covers the history of American art. They have a Charles Burchfield that dwarfs most others. The permanent collection placed throughout the historic homestead has been incrementally increased, and the travelling exhibits in the well-blended addition are always notable as in the current HOPPER TO POLLOCK. Well-curated, small exhibits that satisfy without overwhelming. And the gardens in season are worth a separate visit.
We were very impressed with our visit to see the George Catlins American Buffalo exhibit in 2015 because the gallery is very intimate and well thought out and there are revolving exhibits during the year to keep things interesting. The American artwork displayed throughout the beautiful Reynolds home is an interesting collection of works too. Its a bonus that you can walk the lovely grounds for free during your visit!
So when I was a kid I came here. We visited the other week. You know what whatever kind of people have taken over can have it. Did not go in house or museum. Did not need to go in further to see what I was in store for. Keep politics out.
Very nice and peaceful. Lot of kids take field trips here so its a little busy, but still a great experience.
A well kept historical home. The artwork by American artists is very diverse. There is so much to see. You can easily spend a couple of hours or more here. Students with ID get in free.
It was interesting... Really nice art work...
Great art gallery. would be 5 stars if the groundskeepers hadnt accidentally locked me and my friend in the gates when they closed
Interesting combination of art and a home. We liked it, it added a new angle to just touring an old, elegant home. Staff was friendly and well informed.
Always amazing exhibits in the gallery, and the classic collection in the main house. Wonderful events, movies, and other social and educational opportunities. Excellent for the family or an outing with a friend.
Wonderful house, exhibit hall and grounds. Nice at collection and lifestyle period pieces and furniture.
Ive always enjoyed visiting this beautiful house and the art work is worth the visit.
Beautiful house with rotating art displays and artists. Love the house with all its history and decor along with the gardens the property sits next to.
The staff is great and happily answered all of my questions. The art is beautiful! The house serving as the museum is a masterpiece. The history it obtains is breath taking within itself.
Its both a historic house and an art museum, nestled in a beautiful grounds. They have one of the better collections of American art in the region, and certainly the best outside of the major NY and DC ones. They have rotating visiting exhibits in the new wing, and seasonal cultural events. It will take most people 2-3 hours to see everything.
Very nice and modest prices. Good art on display.
If you want to learn the history of Winston Salem, you should see this museum! Not only the history but also the refreshing place with the huge trees and gardens ;)
The house and grounds are beautiful! And the workers are very informative if you have questions! Just a wonderful experience. You can finish it quickly, or wander for hours. Its up yo you.
Beautifully decorated for the season. Historical place on the Southern heritage. It is interesting and educational too.
I attend the Dorothea Lang photography exhibit and it was though provoking and very memorable. The staff very knowledgeable. I will return for future events.
Nice place for a long walk...
Nice relaxing trip through a beautiful house full of art and history
Architectural gem with wonderful eclectic art displays.
Great way to spend an afternoon! The museum, the staff, the gardens and the shops at the Village all make for an enjoyable experience. I recommend everyone check it out.
Very beautiful house, and if you can prove that youre a student, you can get in for free
My first visit to Reynolda Village..House Website didnt give much information about village, dining options, etc.so we felt pretty lost coming in. Also, gps brought us in the back way and no signs for house. Once we ended up at the Village, lack of signs was still a problem. Many signs were painted on only one side so if you were coming the wrong way you couldnt see them. Once we got oriented, it was a great visit. Food at the tavern was the best. PLEASE improve signage, both entrances and around the village.
Fantastic American Art and Historic House Museum in one! Unique place and beloved by W-S residents. The modern addition has more space for traveling exhibits, lectures, etc. They show movies on the lawn in the summer, have camps and other events through out the year. Gardens and Village stroll make for the perfect afternoon.
Nice museum. Get to see RJ Reynolds house filled with art.
Beautiful house and garden. We got in with a free pass from the library and really enjoyed it. Also worth a stop by May Way for some dumplings and a cold boba drink.
Beautiful house. We got here a little late in the day so we didnt get a chance to see everything. Will just need to go back.
Not cheap admission, but property is very well kept and interesting. The paintings are wonderful, easy to spend a few hours just inside. The pipe organ played electronically at 2:45.
Beautiful grounds. Interesting exhibits. Free for WFU studens and staff.
The exhibit of art from the depression was incredibly moving and interesting and a good reminder of the past.
What a beautiful place, very pretty grounds and the house is so historic
Visited July 16This is a beautiful property, had the pleasure of going with my group- the tour guide was awesome and detailed with the tour, however for individuals there are audio guides- its amazing the level of work that has been done in the house, the restorations, this history thats crammed in one home- there were kids here as there is a summer camp- what an awesome way to give back to the community!!It is a big house, 3 floors and a basement - the last floor is an attic l, can be crammed, mostly the house has central ac, the paintings are amazing, true US art!
It was a wonderful experience. I intend to go back When I can just relax and enjoy everything. This time it was a class assignment and we were rushed to find everything on our list for class. It is a beautiful place.
Beautiful, historic house. Lots of American Fine Art including, sculpture. Great staff who seem to enjoy working there.
We love to visit Reynolda House any time, but especially the special exhibits. It is pricey, so were are grateful for times it is open to the public free admission occasionally.
Very nice art and laid back experience.
Awesome home. Good learning day for kids. Large property.
Interesting place. What a terribly odd layout for a house.
This is a very interesting museum, particularly the permanent collection.
Really enjoyed the tour. Going back for garden tour.
The walking trails are beautiful with all the Jonquils.
It was beautiful n the staff was great.
House was great but one of the guards was a jerk. He could work on his tone. Also one guide was always lurking behind the group as we toured. Sort of soured the experience.
Love it! Always discover something new. It leads to great conversations.
Beautiful home but the complete history of the Estate is not truly being told. The tour guides are not educated on the estate enough to answer questions.
My girlfriend and I went to the Reynolda House on a date to see the art they had on exhibit. The art was wonderful but the security staff followed us around and stared at us the whole time we were there, making us feel very uncomfortable. We were dressed nicely, soft spoken, and well mannered; yet for some unknown reason they treated us if we were thieves or criminals. We have never been treated this way before, it hurt our feelings greatly.
Beautiful place to enjoy the day!
Decent sized collection of art. Not worth the price, unless you are a college student.
The house and museum are nice, but a few of the guards are on power trips. You should enjoy the house as long as you dont touch anything... and you probably shouldnt look at anything to long either.
Sooooo beautiful and the grounds are amazing. They dont allow photography inside the house but you can take as many pictures as you want outside. I kind of liked that, I got more engaged and drawn into the detail and the history.
Recently became a member here and stopped by to see the Frederic Church exhibition. This is a fantastic resource for locals and visitors alike!
Beautiful but the Manor needs to be painted!!
Excellent historical property and the OKeeffe exhibit was marvelous! The staff was so nice and helpful.
Prices are a little high but everything else is great.
Beautiful. Loved the details. Everyone always liked the basement. I like the family history details. Saw an Ansel Adams exhibit here. Kind of a rock star are exhibit compared to what I would expect here.
My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed the current exhibit and the tour of the house. You can actually imagine people living there, unlike some historic homes. Nice education about R.J. Reynolds, his family, and his legacy.
A real gem hidden in Winston-Salem. The house itself is historically significant, but the art collection is the true gem.
Beautiful home very much worth the visit .
I been here twice. I love it. Would love to go at Christmas time.
Went for the Dorothea Lange exhibit. Absolutely stunning.
Great history, excellent guides, beautiful property
What a collection of American Art! Bierstadt, Church, Sheeler....
Its beautiful and amazing! But I dont like the rulesCant take pictures. Its unfair.
Beautiful home and gardens. Great place to visit.
