1. Henry Overholser Mansion
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 136 reviews
Henry Overholser was an entrepreneur who came to Oklahoma during the 1889 Land Run. He and his wife Anna Overholser saw potential in the land surrounding what is now known as the Heritage Hills neighborhood and constructed one of the first mansions to the area in 1903. The home was an attraction for social networking and gatherings in the wake of Oklahoma's impending statehood and stands today in almost complete structural integrity to its original turn-of-the-century construction. Today, visitors can tour the 3 story mansion alongside our Museum Coordinator, and participate in future events hosted on the premises by Preservation Oklahoma, the state's only non-profit organization dedicated to preserving the state's oldest cultural homes and structures.

We loved our tour guide. She shared so many fun & entertaining stories. It’s rare to tour a home with its original furnishings, so this is a gem! The servants’ house next door is larger than most people’s homes.

One of the few places that has a great selection of everything western. They staged a Western "shoot out" in the street while we were there and had a parade.
