The Reynolds Homestead features the fully restored Rock Spring Plantation House, the birthplace and boyhood home of R.J. Reynolds. It was also the home of enslaved families, and on this trip we will hear from the descendants of Kitty Reynolds about their recent research into their ancestor, an enslaved woman who raised eighteen of her own children while acting as nanny for the children of Hardin and Nancy Cox Reynolds. We will tour the 1843 home, restored to its 19th century appearance with many of the original family furnishings, as well as the kitchen, milk house, icehouse, granary, tobacco barn, and cemeteries for white and black Reynolds families.
