Reynolda House, Museum of American Art
Named to the National Register of Historic Places, Reynolda House, Museum of American Art is the former home of tobacco baron R.J. and Katharine Reynolds. Built between 1912 and 1917, it exhibits one of the finest public collections of American art south of Washington, D.C. The pieces date from 1755 to present and include works by Jacob Lawrence, Jasper Johns, Frederic Church, Thomas Eakins and Georgia O'Keeffe. One of America's most authentic examples of a gracious country estate of its time.
Also on the Reynolda House property is Reynolda Gardens. It was designed in 1915 by Thomas Sears, a landscape architect from Philadelphia. Originally part of the estate, it included four acres of formal gardens, a greenhouse and 125-acres of fields and woodlands. The design is geometric and symmetrical with tree-lined strollways and defined open areas and vistas that are heavily planted with perennials, annuals, bulbs and shrubs. A $1.2 million historic preservation rehabilitation plan was completed between 1995 and 1997.
