Day Two Northern North Carolina was as much tobacco country as Southern Virginia at one point. Charles Penn, President of American Tobacco, who was responsible for the “Lucky Strikes” brand, built his first magnificent 12,500 square foot house, now the Charles Penn House, in downtown Reidsville in 1908. When it burned in 1931, it was rebuilt in the Colonial Revival style. Today, the structure, which sits on three beautifully landscaped acres, is furnished with antiques, giving each room an individual character. The library features Charles Penn’s antique leather top desk. Nearby, the Chinqua Penn Plantation was featured on America’s Castle’s. The 27-room English countryside manor originally built by Thomas Jefferson Penn is filled with elaborate furnishings from 30 countries. The house is surrounded by 22 acres of beautiful gardens and historic landscape. In Durham, you can visit the Duke Homestead, the early home, factories, and farm where Washington Duke first grew and processed tobacco. Duke's sons later founded the American Tobacco Company, the largest tobacco company in the world. The tour includes the Duke family's restored home, an early factory, a curing barn, and a pack house. The Tobacco Museum exhibits trace tobacco history from Native American times to the present including the early marketing methods used to expand the reach of the product. From Durham it’s a short trip back to South Boston and your accommodations for the evening. Choice of Accommodations for night two: See night one.
