This restored 1843 home was the birthplace of Richard Joshua Reynolds, founder of the highly successful R. J. Reynolds Tobacco Company. The descendants of his parents, Hardin and Nancy Reynolds, have brought together many of the heirlooms that originally furnished the house and property, to return it to its pre-Civil War appearance when the family was in residence. Possessions tell the story of the life of a 19th century farmer, who was also a successful tobacco grower and manufacturer. Another son, Richard Samuel, was the founder of the Reynolds Metal Company in Richmond.
