This cemetery is tucked away behind what we assumed was university housing/apartments. It is small (in the grand scheme of things) with four sections and a central monument. It was original created to honor the confederate dead by their widows and families since they were not granted the privilege of being buried like their Union brothers in the National Cemetery. It is well maintained with a stone fence around most of it. It doesn’t take long to see but was interesting and educational. Across the gravel road, there are a few family plots including a former Arkansas Supreme Court Judge.

Not a whole lot to it, but lots of cool history here, & it is on the National Register. I love cemeteries, & appreciate that we can learn so much from the people who came before us, so my perspective is that this is a must do. Small, quiet, lovely, & worth a few minutes of your time.

I was a bit underwhelmed by this cemetery. I have visited other confederate cemeteries and always left with a real feeling of the loss in that war. This one had very few graves with names on them; it was just a lot of markers. The large monument was nice, but not enough to make an impression.

There are two sections to this cemetery. The first one we saw was in disarray. The headstones were leaning and the fences around some of the sections were partially falling down. It was on a hilly location too so walking around was a challenge. The second part of the cemetery was separated from the other part of the cemetery by a nice fence. The headstones were lined up like in a national cemetery and also by state. There is a large monument with a soldier on top noting each state represented there-Arkansas, Texas, Missouri and Louisiana. It was quite a moving experience.

This was a somber visit, but I'm glad we found it. So much anti Confederacy sentiment right now, but it is our history, good, bad, or otherwise. Not many of the headstones were marked, which is sad. As some have said, it is a bit run-down but it is clean and cared for. The Confederate States of America flag was flying and I was glad to see that no damage has been done to this hallowed ground in any was visible. Respect seems to have been shown. This was a pleasant slice of American history.
