FRIENDS OF HEAVENER RUNESTONE LLC are working with the City of Heavener which took the park over July 1, 2011. The park remains with free admission. the gift shop is closed on tuesday and wednesday but the park remains open every day. COME VISIT THE HEAVENER RUNESTONE PARK AND HISTORICAL SITE
Just went to Runestone park today and loved it! The lady in the giftshop told us that the town of Heavener is taking over the park on July 1st. So it won't be shutting down. Make sure you have cash on you though. The credit card machine doesn't work sometimes.
I wish they weren't going to close the park. I've been twice to enjoy the runestone and walk the trails and am going again before it shuts down in August. It's so interesting to wonder what it actually says. I don't think anyone will ever find an exact translation. Maybe someday, but I think it will always be a mystery.
love the views and the history def one of the places I tell people not to miss when in Eastern Oklahoma
Greetings. Another theory, another theorist. Lee Woodward does it correct saying it is a puzzle, a cryptogram. It fits what I call Hebrew Masonic sequencing, exactly. Woodward puzzles over the second and eighth Runes they seem backwards is also correct. Some Runes were actually created thinking in a 3 deminsional context. The N of Elder Futhark is actually an example. I am now in the process of writing an 800 page book, on Runes around the World, taking till September, 21st at latest. That backwards theory of his is correct. The last letter as an L, sometimes is drawn in the original Hebrew design. I will drop down some time later this summer. Anyway, if curious I can explain more.
the runestone will remain open
Poteau loves the Runestone, PLEASE don't close it!!! We have very few attractions and this is a big one!!
