The Reynolds Homestead, also known as Rock Spring Plantation, was home of R. J. Reynolds, founder of the R. J. Reynolds Tobacco Company.
It was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1977.[1][3][4]
It is located on Virginia Route 798, about one mile (1.6 km) north of Critz by Virginia Route 626.[1]
The homestead is currently an outreach facility of Virginia Tech, and includes the restored home of R.J. Reynolds and a continuing education center, which are operated by the Virginia Tech Department of Outreach and International Affairs.
The house has been restored to its nineteenth century state and includes many of the original family furnishings. The grounds include the original brick kitchen, a brick milk house, a log icehouse and a log granary. The family cemetery is located near the house and across a field is the slave cemetery.
The house is open for tours for both individuals and groups.
