It's called the Reynolda Mile, this stretch of Reynolda Road, and in one mile you can travel through time.
Your first stop is Reynolda House, Museum of American Art. It has renowned collections of fine art, costumes, furniture and architecture, and masterpieces from three centuries. And that's to say nothing of the house itself, and the gardens.
Across Reynolda Road and down a few blocks is SECCA, the Southeastern Center for Contemporary Art. There, you find art, installations, and performances that are, shall we say, a long way from the 1800s. Just up the road, at Wake Forest University, is the Charlotte and Philip Hanes Art Gallery, where the exhibits include up-and-coming student artists, a peek at the future.
And that's just on this one mile. The rest of Winston-Salem's museums await. You're going to need another day, or two.
