[1][4][6] The homestead is currently an outreach facility of Virginia Tech, serving as a regional cultural center.

The Reynolds Homestead is located in a rural area of eastern Patrick County, Virginia, about one mile north of the village of Critz.

Outbuildings of the plantation complex include a large corn crib, a brick kitchen, milkhouse, and icehouse.

[1] The property was first developed by Abram Reynolds, who built a log cabin near where the main house stands.

In 1968, Nancy Susan Reynolds, R.J.'s only surviving child, purchased over 700 acres (280 ha) of the original plantation, most of which she gave to Virginia Tech, retaining life interest in the homestead, which was carefully restored.
