Historic Oak View County Park, 4028 Carya Drive, Raleigh, is free to visit.
The park is a 19th-century historic farmstead, with a mission to interpret North Carolina’s agricultural heritage and rural history via educational programs, special events and exhibits.
Several goats live at Historic Oak View County Park, which makes it a unique destination in Wake County.

Historic Oak View County Park has a lot to explore, including a Cotton Gin House, a kitchen garden, a cemetery, a livestock barn, a pecan grove, a tenant house, and more. There’s even a fishing pond — catch and release only. There are walking trails as well.
