Historic Heritage Hills
Visit Historic Heritage Hills, located between 13th and 23rd Streets in downtown Oklahoma City. Heritage Hills is home to city leaders and young families alike – just as it was 100 years ago. The tree-lined sidewalks and irreplaceable historic spaces offer a quality of life that only comes with age and history.

In 1903, Henry Overholser built his grand mansion on a remote grassy hilltop with equal views of the State Capital and the bustling dirty roads of 10-year-old Oklahoma City. the location soon attracted other city and state leaders including Colcord, Hightower and Hale to the area where they built their majestic homes. Currently, Heritage Hills contains approximately 370 residences from quaint bungalows to stately mansions.

The Overholser Mansion still stands today and includes one of the finest examples of original interior furnishings in the country placing it in the elite of historic home museums. Your visit to Heritage Hills will include the Overholser Mansion and three private homes.
