Listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1971, the Peter Conser House has stood on a hill southwest of Heavener since 1894. The site also features the family cemetery (first grave date: 1879) and a side gable barn constructed in 1909.
Peter Conser (1852-1934) had many public duties during his lifetime, including captain of the Lighthorse; representative to the Choctaw Council; and eventually a senator to the Choctaw Council. In addition, Peter ran a large farm, a blacksmith shop, grist mill, and sawmill. He also kept a general store with a post office. His influence was great in the southeastern part of the state.
The home was used as a museum for many years before ownership was returned to the Conser family. It has been closed for several years and has rapidly deteriorated. At some point in the last few years, the home was broken into, and several items were taken. The family cemetery is of utmost importance and further neglect will cause greater harm.
