Call for Help: Repairing the Runestone enclosure
Embark on a journey through time at Heavener Runestone Park, where the echoes of Viking history resonate in the heart of the United States. Today, we come to you with a crucial appeal; our cherished Runestone enclosure, a guardian of this profound legacy, stands weathered and frail.

The Heavener Runestone is not just a mere relic; it is a tangible connection to an ancient chapter in American history, telling the tale of viking explorers who, against all odds, left their mark on these lands. To ensure this precious piece of heritage endures, we are launching a fundraising campaign with a modest goal of $15,000.
The urgency arises from the pressing need to repair the enclosure. Time has not been kind, and the current state leaves the Runestone vulnerable to the elements. We believe in the importance of preserving the physicality of history, allowing visitors to stand in awe before the very stone that whispers tales of the past.
