Wake Forest Historical Museum

The Wake Forest Historical Museum is operated by the Wake Forest College Birthplace Society, a nonprofit organization founded in 1956. Since its founding, the mission of the Wake Forest College Birthplace Society has been to preserve and share the history of Wake Forest College and the Town of Wake Forest. What began as a small group of activists in 1956 has grown into a substantial and significant nonprofit organization.

The Society is a 501 (c) (3) tax-exempt organization governed by an elected board of fifteen directors.
