Conway Cemetery State Park, Historical cemetery in Lafayette County, Arkansas.
Conway Cemetery State Park is a state park in Lafayette County containing burial grounds of the Conway and Bradley families. The grounds span about 11.5 acres, with a small cemetery situated within the larger parkland.
The park preserves graves of the Conway family, whose member James Sevier Conway served as Arkansas's first governor from 1836 to 1840. The family held significant influence during the state's territorial period and into the Civil War era.
The cemetery reflects the influence of the Conway-Johnson family dynasty in Arkansas politics from territorial days through the American Civil War period.
The park welcomes visitors throughout the day and offers parking spaces and picnic facilities on the grounds. Basic amenities are available, so it is helpful to check current hours before planning a visit.
Local residents began preservation efforts in 1975, leading to the site's listing on the National Register of Historic Places in 1977. This grassroots initiative saved the location from being forgotten and turned it into a formally protected historical site.
