Early in the 1900's, the founder of R. J. Reynolds Tobacco Company began construction on a series of buildings to self-support his 1,067-acre estate. The community would include state-of-the-art dairy barns, a church, school, greenhouse, central power plant, laundry, ice house, carriage sheds, blacksmith shop, smokehouse and cottages for supervisory staff and their families. All the buildings were architecturally designed to resemble a quaint English country village.

Adjacent to the Reynolda House Museum of American Art, and under the auspices of Wake Forest University, Reynolda Village is an expression of the University's continued commitment to the living heritage of its campus, city and region.

Reynolda Village is now the home of unique shops, restaurants and offices. The beautifully maintained grounds are open 365 days of the year. Take time to explore its historic significance and charm.
