Madison's Family-Owned Movers Since 1888
Reynolds Transfer & Storage was founded in 1888 by Anna Gault Reynolds with four rigs and ten horses on the 600 block of East Mifflin Street. Five generations later, we're still family-owned and still working from the same Madison neighborhood — one of the oldest continuously operating businesses in the city.
A century of Madison winters, Capitol-area walk-ups, and family heirlooms teaches you things no franchise playbook can.
