Oakforest is a two-story, frame composite house in the Federal and Greek-Revival style, located in Wake Forest, North Carolina. It was placed on the National Register of Historic Places on 11 June 1998.The property is on a 6.86-acre (0.03 km2; 0.01 sq mi) site that is the residual portion of a 200-acre (0.81 km2; 0.31 sq mi) plantation begun in the first decade of the nineteenth century by John Smith. In 1803 John Smith was deeded this tract by his father, Benjamin Smith, and began construction. A map on a 1791 Land Grant shows that the tract contains a 51-acre (0.21 km2; 0.08 sq mi) tract granted to Benjamin Smith.Surrounded by mid-twentieth-century houses, Oakforest is an oasis of rare historical value. The tract contains three remaining original structures, including the Oakforest dwelling house, the core of the plantation, the mid-nineteenth-century smokehouse, and the early nineteenth-century corn crib. The unfenced, gently sloping tract, the small stream with its border of wild foliage, the old trees and mid-nineteenth-century boxwoods combine to retain much of the original rural atmosphere. A unique feature is the American boxwood allee which lines the original front drive. The boxwoods were thought to be planted prior to the American Civil War as they can be seen in the earliest known picture taken in 1886.In 2008, it was designated a local historic landmark property by the Town of Wake Forest, North Carolina.There is a cemetery on the grounds, the resting place of members of the family who lived in the house.

WCPE (89.7 FM) in Raleigh, North Carolina, is a listener supported non-commercial, non-profit radio station, and the program contributor for The Classical Station, a classical music network. The station went on the air July 17, 1978, and switched to a 24-hour classical music format in 1984. Both are owned by the Educational Information Corporation, a nonprofit community organization. WCPE's studios are located just outside Wake Forest, North Carolina. Its main signal extends from the South Carolina state line to the suburbs of Richmond, Virginia, and some parts of Charlotte, North Carolina, as well. The station is known for being unusually conservative in its musical selections and content, refusing to air selections of modern classical music, and quietly discontinuing carriage of the weekly program 'Wavelengths that focused on contemporary classical music. It refused to air modern works from the Metropolitan Opera citing adult content and mature language. However, the modern works selected for exclusion were by BIPOC composers which had all received critical acclaim and acceptance in the operatic community at large. In the same breath, the station stated it was pleased to broadcast long-time favourite operatic repertoire including Carmen, Nabucco, Romeo and Juliet and Madame Butterfly as calm and relaxing programming for the whole family. However, these tried and tested operas contain themes that include prostitution, smuggling, murder, execution, bigotry, cultural appropriation, teen suicide, child brides, misogyny, teen pregnancy, wife abandonment, child abduction and suicide. The station's argument was that the excluded operatic works are in English and thereby understandable by a more general audience; indictating the included operas are in languages other than English (French, Italian, German et al.) that the listener would not comprehend the lyrics. While the station did receive some support for this forced censorship, ultimately listener and public backlash had the station reverse their decision; and the station will broadcast the 2023-2024 Met Opera Broadcast Season in its entirety as outlined in the contrast between the station and the Met Opera.
