This small cemetery is located on the grounds of the First Baptist Church of Cave Springs, Arkansas. There are approximately 40 stones here, including various unmarked stones. The cemetery and church can be found directly on Highway 264 East in Cave Springs. If you’ve found the church, you've found the cemetery. The cemetery is plainly visible from the highway. At present, the church is situated across the street from a store called Stuff Mart. The cemetery lawn was neatly mowed. Some stones were rather weather-beaten and damaged. Some stones were flat against the ground, almost grown into the lawn. However, a number of other stones were well cared for and readable.
