Tour of Reynolda House Winston Salem




I enjoyed a lovely tour of Reynolda House this morning with my parents I have always meant to tour this historic home in Winston Salem, its a landmark and full of history for some reason I had no idea it was more than an art gallery its a big property with gardens, walking trails and a delightful historic house owned by The Reynolds family. Its complete with majestic rooms, furniture, art from great American artists along the centuries, garments and cutlery and even a bowling alley, squash court and cocktail bar in the basement. I tweeted along the way and thought I would share the tweets as it gives a snapshot to the place. I highly recommend a visit.
