Gardens Self-Guided Visits

Thank you for registering in advance for your self-guided visit to Reynolda Gardens. That way, we can help coordinate your visit around scheduled programs and activities (like tree work or chemical treatments). Thank you in advance for keeping together and being respectful of the living and non-living things you encounter while learning! In your visit confirmation, you’ll receive more details.

Museum Self-Guided Visits

While Reynolda House Museum of American Art is designed for self-touring for individual and small family groups, it differs from some other museums in what it can offer self-touring classes.  Because of the small spaces, students must break into groups of 8 and have a chaperone with each small group.  Thank you in advance for helping lead your students and fellow chaperones to be stewards of the historic house and art collection while learning!

We have some resources available for you to use as you plan your visit.  Contact Julia Tanner, director of teaching and learning, with any questions. Email: julia@reynolda.org, phone: 336-758-5599
