Between being able to tour the whole house with an excellent host that was left intact with books on the shelves and clothes in the closet, spectacular. I felt as if I was walking in the wake of someone who had just left that morning. The table was set ready for dinner that evening and in the kitchen, the original stove [wood burning] at that and all original furniture from around 1903 is a must see in OKC!

The resident tour guide, Lisa did a fantastic job to really keep our interest. Her knowledge of the home and it's history was amazing. I will definitely bring my visiting family to see it. A must see in our book of places to see in OKC.

this is wonderful way to get insights into Oklahoma City's early 20th century history. we visit OKC every year to see family, and for the first time visited the Overholser Mansion. the docent/curator/guide was terrific - very enthusiastic and knowledgeable, full of fun stories and she managed to convey lots of interesting information without overwhelming us. it was a delight to walk through the mansion, which is in remarkably good shape and full of early 20th c. items. it's in a nice neighborhood for a stroll and not far from places to eat. the only drawback is that the walking tour is not accessible. it's easy walking, and does include some steps. well worth the time, and small fee. so glad we finally made it!

The Overholser Mansion is a nice tour if you are inthe area, it takes about 1/2 an hour and the tour leaves on the hour.

We toured the Overholser Mansion, and loved not only its architecture, but its history as well. Lisa, our host for the tour, was extremely knowledgeable and was a delightful guide. The Overholser is a true jewel of OKC, and is worth a visit. We loved it!

The mansion was great but the neighborhood is what we really loved as we walked around viewing all the mansions in the area. Well worth our time

Even my kids liked this one - 19, 16, 10 years of age. Beautiful, seems untouched, a treasure cemented in time. Hostess took time to warm up, but once she became comfortable, she was a joy to hear the stories from surrounding this family. Her knowledge of the history of this place is vast. We were allowed to spend as much time as we liked looking at the artifacts and going up and down the stairs to view the rooms. The bottom floor was really untouched as the daughter of the family lived on the second floor with her husband and they had no children. When she died, he remarried two times, but ended up donating all belongings (clothing, original china/dishes/trinkets/linens, furniture, etc.) to the Historical Society. It truly is amazing. Even the carpet is original. This is a must see for history buffs and society buffs, and kids that like seeing how people lived long ago. VERY NEAT.

It's not just an old house!! It's a view into life in OKC America in the days of Downton Abbey. The heir sold it with everything inside--original chandeliers, rugs, furniture, clothes, & the china--omg! We got inspiration for restoring our own 100 year old OKC house. The history of the mansion, the family, OKC, etc. provided by the excellent tour guides made it come alive. Better than expected, time well spent!

Right in the heart of Oklahoma City lies this gem of an historical mansion. Between the original furnishings of the house and the knowledgeable, enthusiastic tour guides, this is a must see attraction when visiting the city!
