The Peter Conser Home is the 1894 home of the Choctaw leader of the Lighthorsemen law enforcement agency. It contains furnishing and artifacts from 1894-1910. Born in the Choctaw Nation in the 1850s, Peter Conser was a long-time law-enforcement official among the Choctaws, serving as deputy-sheriff, sheriff and leader of the Lighthorsemen. He also served in the Choctaw Legislature. Conser and the men who served under his direction did much to ensure peace among the Indians. His home has been restored to illustrate the life as it was in the Choctaw Nation before statehood. The house is located five miles south of Heavener and three miles west of Hodgen. Open to the public Wednesday through Saturday from 10am to 5pm and on Sunday from 1pm to 5pm. Highway signs mark the way to the historical home. At the town of Hodgen turn west on Conser road at Summerfield go east. From Cedar Lake Equestrian Camp take trail 1 to 1a.
