Little Rock National Cemetery is a quiet Civil War-era cemetery that adds a sober historical stop to the east side of the city. It began as a burial ground for Union soldiers and now holds veterans from many later conflicts, with long rows of white markers laid out in the formal style of national cemeteries.
This is not a place for casual entertainment, but it is worth a respectful visit if you are following Little Rock's military and civil-rights history. Pair it with MacArthur Park or the older downtown sights to get a fuller sense of the city's 19th-century layers.
