Heavener Attractions
The town of Heavener (pop. 3,200) was named for a local merchant and owner of the original townsite, Joe Heavener. It is located at the base of the Poteau Mountain. It is the site of the Heavener Runestone, a mysterious rock with ancient carvings.
The Heavener-Runestone State Park is a fifty-acre park with hiking trails. The park's name comes from a huge granite slab that features ancient carvings that are rumored to be the work of Viking explorers.
The Peter Conser Home in Heavener was built in 1894 when Peter Conser was a former light horseman and legislator of the Choctaw Nation. His home has been restored and features antiques and photographs.
