Reynolda House Museum of American Art, built in 1917, was originally the family home of Katharine Smith Reynolds and her husband Richard Joshua Reynolds, founder of the R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Company. It opened to the public as an art museum in 1967 and today features a renowned collection of American art ranging from the Colonial period to the present, including works by Albert Bierstadt, Mary Cassatt, Frederic Church, John Singleton Copley, Thomas Eakins, Jacob Lawrence, Georgia O’Keeffe and Grant Wood. Reynolda House’s costume collection includes 700 articles of clothing dating from 1890 to 1965. Visit Reynolda House this spring — it’s the perfect time to take a walk around the formal gardens designed by landscape architect Thomas Sears.
