It is certainly an exciting time to be in Conway, Arkansas! On October 10, the Conway Development Corporation and Jim Wilson Associates of Montgomery, Alabama, announced plans to jointly develop Central Landing on the site of the current (soon to be vacated) Cantrell Field airport just north of the cemetery. We are excited to have new neighbors and very pleased that the city is considering the possibility of expanding Oak Grove Cemetery to the north with a portion of this land.

Oak Grove Cemetery is an active 24 acre cemetery located in Conway, Faulkner County, Arkansas. 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 Places. This 10-acre portion is the final resting place of most of Conway's citizens from its earliest era.
