There’s one last stop to make before leaving the area. The restored 1843 home at the Reynolds estate 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 to return the property to its pre-Civil War antebellum 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, Virginia.

From there, we wish you a safe and pleasant journey home.
