Abstract:

Tanglewood Park, originally the 1,100-acre farm and home of William and Kate B. Reynolds, has a farm, blacksmith shop, vacation cabins, steam locomotive, plus a large endowment to finance it. The couple left the property to the people of Winston-Salem and Forsyth County. They also left $200,000 to develop the farm into a public playground. Also provided were 20,000 shares of Reynolds stock which generates $40,000 a year for the park's development, operating, and maintenance costs.
