Henry Overholser Mansion

"It's like walking into a beautiful time capsule. The staff is so friendly, knowledgeable, and truly care about the location and history. This historical location has been lovingly preserved and the decor/exhibits are updated periodically."

"I had such an amazing experience here, the woman working was such a sweet lady who told us soo many interesting facts about the house. Honestly the tour would not have been the same without her. Unfortunately I do not remember her name. I definitely recommend visiting here if you enjoy old homes or history of oklahoma."

"Most historic homes don't have the original furniture and items and they are either perfectly restored (and look like no one has ever lived there) or left in disrepair. This home was donated in the late 50's with everything in the house included (clothes, furniture, dishes, etc.). It was left the way it was lived in. That way it's not fully restored but was in livable shape. Unfortunately a recent leak in the roof means that some repair is necessary, but I hope they continue to maintain the lived in look. It's not really a true tour. It's a short 5-10 minute overview and then you are left to discover the rest of the house at your own pace. Plan on 30-40 minutes."

"One of the best preserved museums I’ve ever been into. It’s like stepping into the past, and everything down to the China and the carpet is original to the house. Really interesting, and awesome house. You need to check this out."

"⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️☆ Henry & Anna Overholser Mansion – Oklahoma City We had a great time visiting the Henry and Anna Overholser Mansion! The place has such a nostalgic and historical feel — walking through it really takes you back in time. The mansion itself is beautiful, and you can tell how well they’ve preserved it. The only downside was that we weren’t able to go upstairs. We paid $25 per adult for the full experience, but the upper level was blocked off. The tour guide explained it was for safety reasons since they didn’t want too many people on the staircase at once, which I understand — but based on the crowd size that day, I think it would’ve been fine. It just felt like we missed out on part of the experience. The kitchen was my favorite area — really cool to see how things were set up back then. I even used the old telephone to call my own phone just for fun! 😂 Everything was roped off, so we couldn’t get up close or enter the dining and lounging areas, but overall it was still a cool experience. I love history, so I appreciated the chance to step into such an important piece of Oklahoma City’s past. Definitely worth checking out if you enjoy historic homes and local heritage."
