Southern Living Taps Reynolda as a “Best Place to Visit”

The editors of Southern Living “have scoured the South for what’s new, notable and next in 2025″ to create the magazine’s “25 Best Places to Go in the South in 2025.” And Winston-Salem’s historic Reynolda is on the list and noted as “one of the best-kept secrets in this vibrant college town.” According to the magazine’s listing:

If you’re looking for the ultimate springtime day trip, go to the Reynolda House Museum of American Art, Reynolda Gardens, and Reynolda Village, located on and around Wake Forest University. The property and former country home of R.J. Reynolds and Katharine Smith has a multitude of things to see and do on its 1,067 acres. Stroll the formal gardens, which include flowering bulbs, azaleas, and the largest cherry tree display in the Carolinas. Don’t miss the restored 1913 Lord & Burnham Greenhouse. Tour the 64-room Reynolda House Museum of American Art, with its period interiors and galleries of paintings and other works. Then enjoy a meal and shopping at Reynolda Village, a retail area housed in historic buildings.

The museum and gardens also host a variety of special exhibits and events throughout the year. A special exhibition opens February 15 showcasing work by Andrew Wyeth, one of the most popular and celebrated American artists of the twentieth century.

For residents of the area, the allure of Reynolda is well known. It’s a popular place to walk the trails, explore the art and exhibitions, visit the village shops and restaurants, or enjoy the serene beauty of the gardens. But it’s nice to see this recognition from Southern Living that should bring even more visitors to this special place.
