Goad Springs Cemetery Placed on Historic Registry

At its regular meeting Dec. 2, the State Review Board of the Arkansas Historic Preservation Program of Little Rock listed the Goad Springs Cemetery near Lowell on the Arkansas Register of Historic Places.

“The Goad Springs Cemetery is the final resting place for many of Lowell’s early settlers, as well as other residents of the area,” according to the National Register nomination. “It is an integral part of the county’s history, as it is one of the few remaining sites related to early settlement in the region.” 

The board also listed the Byrd Memorial at Gray Rock in Logan County and the Bill Clinton Boyhood Home at Hope in Hempstead County on the Arkansas Register of Historic Places.

The Arkansas Register recognizes historically noteworthy places that are not eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places.
