We were visiting Little Rock and friends at home suggested we check out this historic cemetery. We didn't think much about it until we got there and found it was located a block and a half from where we were staying. We spent about 30 minutes walking around in sweltering heat looking at the historic family plots and headstones. I suppose if you are an Arkansas native you would recognize some of the names; we didn't but it was worth a half hour of our time.
We just came back from this cemetery. It was a nice quick visit. It would probably be better with a tour guide, but it was still nice to walk around. We were in and out in about 30 minites.
This is one of the most incredible historic sites in Little Rock and possibly in the state of Arkansas. The number of founding fathers and supporters of the state of Arkansas who are buried here are remarkable. Most of the grave markers are large and beautiful. A great place to get a piece of history for Little Rock and Arkansas.
This is a great place to visit if you are interested in history. Read about the cemetery on the internet before you visit. Around Halloween a local group gives tours and it is fascinating to hear the stories they tell. It was much more interesting than I expected.
It is in the middle of a neighborhood. Parking on the street. We were there at the end of the day and tired, so didn't stop.
Beautiful and well kept cemetery with grave site inscriptions that give you an overview of Little Rock's long history and involvement in the Civil War.
After staying at the Empress, was very interested in seeing this cemetery. Hornibrook, who built the Empress, was the fist monument you see as you enter. Be prepared to walk through this cemetery as you can not drive down most aisles.
Parkview High School does a great job every October dressing up as some of Arkansas past residents. Great for a fun night of learning about our ancestors~
It wasn't designed in a manner to locate graves very efficiently. We called for a tour but it has to be booked 2 weeks in advance. It could be a great place to educate tourist about Little Rock but it is more like a walk in cemetery without any historical content being present.
I really love this place. It is so peaceful. The flowers bloom in spring and surround the beautiful gravestones, creating a serene backdrop for a picnic or a lazy tour of the grounds. This cemetery is full of history and is a great place to spend a day outside. It's free, so it's great if you are on a budget and need something to do.
