Things To Do
Reynolda Village
Located just 13 minutes from the venue, Reynolda Village boasts a rich history and beautiful grounds. RJ and Katharine Reynolds developed their estate from 1912- 1917, and The Reynolds Historic District was officially listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980. Originally a self-sustaining farm community, today the district serves as an educational, cultural and community complex for the Winston-Salem community - which is keeping with the Reynolds’ original plan. Buildings that once served as dairy barns, cattle sheds or blacksmith shops now house stores, restaurants, and offices. The bride and mother of the groom both personally recommend touring the stunning grounds, hitting the bookstore, and topping it all off with a coffee and award winning (ranked 50th best donut in the country!) at Dough-Joe’s!
Old Salem Museums & Gardens
A quick 10 minute ride from the venue, you’ll find Old Salem Museums & Gardens. It is a unique community of original museum buildings, authentic craftsmen practicing their trade, fascinating collections of rare antiques, and one-of-a-kind retail shopping opportunities.
Körner's Folly
Built in 1880 by artist/decorator/designer Jule Gilmer Korner, this historic home showcases the talent, ingenuity, and imagination of a true genius.
