Heritage Hills and Mesta Park are two of OKC’s earliest neighborhoods, located adjacent to one another. With historic mansions like the Henry and Anna Overholser Mansion , these wide, leafy streets are a great place to stroll and admire. The Harn Homestead is an Oklahoma treasure that reflects the territorial history of Oklahoma City. It was established by William and Alice Harn in 1897. Today, the Harn Homestead is a living museum, with historic buildings, self-guided walking tours, limited hands-on activities in the Farmhouse building and a small gift shop.
