Since then it has evolved into a non-profit organization that oversees the Wake Forest Historical Museum, which encourages people to visit and learn about the origins of the school. The museum includes the historic Calvin Jones house, which was moved in the 1960s from the original campus to its present location in the Wake Forest historic district. Here it continues to be restored and historically furnished by the Museum.</p> </bioghist> <scopecontent id="aspace_b62a6dfb0c0fe074da115df3e79a8673"> <head>Collection Overview</head> <p>This collection documents the work of the Wake Forest Birthplace Society and Wake Forest Historical Museum.
