The Overholser Mansion was the first mansion in the city and constructed by local land dealer and entrepreneur, Henry Overholser in 1903.
In the 1960's the mansion was offered to the state of Oklahoma, with all contents intact, as a historical site.
A rare glimpse into history as it was - no need to renovate or find similar styles of furnishings - because it never changed inside and was maintained by the same family from construction til it was given over to the state.
