Conway Cemetery State Park, Historical cemetery in Lafayette County, Arkansas.
The park encompasses 11.5 acres of land with a half-acre cemetery containing graves from both the Conway and Bradley families.
James Sevier Conway, the first governor of Arkansas from 1836 to 1840, established essential state infrastructure including roads and prisons during his term.
The cemetery reflects the influence of the Conway-Johnson family dynasty in Arkansas politics from territorial days through the American Civil War period.
Visitors can access the park daily between 8 AM and 8 PM, with parking facilities and picnic tables available on the grounds.
Local residents initiated preservation efforts in 1975, leading to the site's placement on the National Register of Historic Places in 1977.
