What is Reynolds Homestead?
The Reynolds Homestead, also known as Rock Spring Plantation, is a historical site and former plantation worked by the enslaved, located 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, some 88 people were freed from captivity and enslavement.
