Nestled in the heart of tobacco country is the nation's largest cigarette manufacturer, 92-year-old R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Company. Reynolds dates to 1875 when 24-year-old Richard Joshua Reynolds left his father's tobacco farm and went to Winston to set up his own tobacco business. By 1913, Reynolds controlled one-fourth of the plug tobacco business in the United States and had begun producing smoking tobacco as well, introducing the Prince Albert brand of pipe and cigarette tobacco in 1907.

The Reynolds family’s intended purpose for their ancestral home was transformed with the Surgeon General’s landmark edict about smoking. From Reynolda becoming more than preservation site for the family’s history, Winston-Salem gained another venue for renown, housed in the former R.J Reynolds headquarters.
