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.

Oak Grove and Central Landing
Historic Oak Grove Cemetery was recently featured in a front-page article in Conway's Log Cabin Democrat newspaper. Michelle Corbet did a great job of interviewing the key people and summarizing how the cemetery and the city worked together. Give the article a read when you get a chance, and be sure to thank the City Council and Planning Department for their help in making sure our historic cemetery maintains its character. We look forward to seeing the Central Landing development take off!
