The Reynolds Homestead is located in a rural area of eastern [[Patrick County, Virginia]], about one mile north of the village of Critz. The estate house is a two-story brick building with a hip roof, from which an older two-story ell extends. Outbuildings of the plantation complex include a large [[corn crib]], a brick kitchen, milkhouse, and icehouse.

The property was first developed by Abram Reynolds, who built a log cabin near where the main house stands. His son, Hardin W.

The Reynolds Homestead, also known as Rock Spring Plantation, is a slave plantation turned historical site on Homestead Lane in Critz, Virginia. First developed in 1814 by slaveowner Abram Reynolds, it was the primary home of R. J. Reynolds (1850–1918), founder of the R. J. Reynolds Tobacco Company, and the first major marketer of the cigarette. Upon liberation of the plantation in 1863, 88 people were freed from captivity and enslavement.[5] It was later designated a National Historic Landmark in 1977.[1][4][6] The homestead is currently an outreach facility of Virginia Tech, serving as a regional cultural center. The house is open for tours.
The Reynolds Homestead is located in a rural area of eastern Patrick County, Virginia, about one mile north of the village of Critz. The estate house is a two-story brick building with a hip roof, from which an older two-story ell extends. Outbuildings of the plantation complex include a large corn crib, a brick kitchen, milkhouse, and icehouse. The Reynolds family cemetery is located near the house and across a field is the slave cemetery. The house has been restored to its nineteenth century state and includes many of the original family furnishings.[1]
The property was first developed by Abram Reynolds, who built a log cabin near where the main house stands. His son, Hardin W.

Reynolds achieved early economic success selling plug tobacco, but made an instant success out of the introduction of the Camel cigarette brand, which he marketed and advertised widely.[1]
Reynolds moved out of the family homestead in 1874. It remained within the family, but in declining condition, into the mid-20th century. In 1968, Nancy Susan Reynolds, R.J.'s only surviving child, purchased over 700 acres (280 ha) of the original plantation, most of which she gave to Virginia Tech, retaining life interest in the homestead, which was carefully restored.[1] The property is now managed by Virginia Tech, and includes a continuing education center managed by its Department of Outreach and International Affairs.
