This home was built for one of the Oklahoma City's most beloved benefactors, William Overholser. Now nearly a century old, this residence that's reminiscent of a French chateau gives visitors a glimpse into Oklahoma's early development. Overholser was a successful businessman and the first president of the city's chamber of commerce. The interior of the home retains its original antique furnishings and some of the other highlights include imported rugs and decorative stained glass windows. Tours are given every hour starting at 10.

Visited on a Friday during their drop in hours. Such a beautiful home. Thankful that Henry Ione Overholser surviving husband sold it to the local historical society to preserve it. We had the house to ourselves and the mansion guide who met us on the main floor was very knowledgeable. The placards in the rooms were very informative.This is an absolute must see if you are local or visiting OKC. Full of history and charm.
MoreVery interesting home. We stopped in around 11:00 am in the morning and didn't leave until almost 1:00. The docent was knowledgeable and happy to answer questions. It was definitely worth the minimal donation that they request, especially as the home needs more financial support to retain it's integrity.
MoreGorgeous mansion,Next time I come I’m going to actually take a tour today I just drove by and photographed it.
MoreThe house is beautifully kept and the tour, while short, is very enjoyable. It's only about an hour long activity, but it's delightful.
MoreWent to this Heritage Hills section to see this mansion. But also enjoyed walking around this neighborhood with huge homes and attractive landscaping. The tour guides were very friendly and welcoming. They were knowledgeable about the house and it’s history. It had some original furnishings and even clothing. Very interesting to see how people lived in OKC back then.
