"What a beautiful and peaceful park to visit! Definitely part of Arkansas' history, this park includes the gravesite of the first governor of AR as well as several family members. It sits on a huge beautiful hill with hardly anything for miles around. We paid our respects to each of the gravesites and enjoyed reading the history behind the park/family. Definitely off the beaten path, but worth the visit! We found a crayon in very easy geocache that allowed us to make a great impression of the passport etching in our passport book! This was our first passport station to visit, so now we know to make sure we always have a pencil with us!"
"Wonderful tiny state park consisting of the cemetery for the Conway and Bradley families. James C. Conway was the first governor of Arkansas from 1836-1840. Note the many infants and young children buried in the cemetery marked only as "Infant" son or daughter."
"Out of the way, but definitely worth a side trip down to Bradley. Interesting cemetery and park dedicated to the first governor of Arkansas. Very picturesque and a good place to learn a little bit about some of the early history of the state. Wish they would have at least a picnic table or somewhere to sit down. Not much else but the cemetery, but if you walk the fence, you can get a good 1/4 mile walk in. The surrounding farmland and forests make for a good drive up to this area. Will definitely stop here again when in the area."
"One of the smallest state parks in Arkansas, but pretty cool. It's where the first governor of Arkansas is buried as well as his family. The only problem was we were there in the middle of the day and the gate was locked. It was only a short walk though. It was a quiet and serene. We had a great conversation with the neighbors cows."
"Great little stop off on a road trip"
