Object description

The Rockport Cemetery is a historic cemetery off Business United States Route 270 in Rockport, Arkansas. Just under 10 acres in size, it is the community's oldest and largest cemetery, with known burials dating to 1851. It is the best surviving element of the community's early settlement period and was laid out in the then-fashionable rural cemetery style. A 2.5-acre part of the cemetery, including its two oldest sections, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2002.
