Heavener Runestone Park

Runestone park is Amazing however do not stay at the Green Country Inn a very mediocre experience, we returned home to find a $25.00 pet fee charged to our bank card. IF we had a pet, we could understand. However, there was no pet there. I called to politely handle this situation as an obvious misunderstanding and was met with hostility and then being called a liar. The manager with whom I spoke then informed Me that he had no way of getting in touch with the owner of the Inn. He then went on to tell me that when the room was cleaned, there were hairs found in the room by the cleaners. After telling him several times that we have no pet that travels with us, he told us HE was the one who cleaned the room and not only found the hairs, but actually had seen My wife and daughter taking a dog into the room. He could not however describe the dog, nor my wife and daughter and then promptly hung up on me. IF you ever have the misfortune of staying here PLEASE check your bank account a few days after returning home for any spurious charges. This review WILL be posted on every Heavener site I can find as well as the Better Business Bureau, The Heavener Police for Theft and Improper use of a Bank Account.

one of the most beautiful places in the world

loved the whole area. makes me think and ask questions . have no doubt Vikings could sail up the Arkansas but not sure why they would settle so far from the river. amazing sight though. well worth seeing

We were so enthralled by the beauty of the area and spent about two hours visiting with the very knowledgable staff. My whole family enjoyed the park immensely. We have already planned our return trip in September for the Thor Run. We can't wait!

I am pleased to read that this awesome Viking park is not closing. Too important for the Scandinavian heritage and looking at the broad picture, it's no doubt the Vikings were there.

I would sincerely like to talk to Michael Stone who left a note earlier on this board. If anyone could forward my e-mail address to him I would sincerely appreciate it. I am extremely interested in what he has to say.

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!!
