Oak Grove Cemetery

Oak Grove Cemetery is located in Conway, Faulkner County, Arkansas, very near Cantrell Field (Conway’s airport). The cemetery’s entrance is at the east end of Bruce Street, which was named to honor George W. Bruce, a Conway pioneer who in 1880 served as the first president of the Oak Grove Cemetery Association.

The Historic Section of Oak Grove is listed on the National Register of Historic Plaes. This 10-acre portion of the cemetery is the final resting place of most of Conway's leading citizens from its earliest era. About 100 Civil War soldiers, both Union and Confederate, are interred along with veterans of other wars. Bronze stars on grave markers identify soldiers of the Confederate Army.
