The Reynolds Homestead is pleased to announce the placement of seven new signs on the property which will aid visitors in understanding the history of the historic Rock Spring Plantation, a State and National Historic Landmark.

In addition to a sign providing an overview of the historic property, six others have been strategically placed to provide information about the historic home, family and slave cemeteries, tobacco barn, kitchen, ice house, and creamery. The signs were designed by Leigh Lally, environmental graphic designer in the Virginia Tech Office of University Planning, and produced by Envirosigns in Blacksburg. Volunteers Tom and Harper Steele and Pete Zeien assisted staff in the installation of the signs. "It was important for us to provide information for visitors who visit our site when no one is available to provide a guided tour of the historic property," said Julie Walters Steele. "Now, anyone who visits can learn some of the history surrounding the Reynolds family’s Rock Spring Plantation and the people who lived here." The Homestead staff is very appreciative of the generous support from the Helen S. and Charles G. Patterson, Jr. Charitable Foundation Trust that funded this project, and other projects to help preserve and promote this important historical property.
