The Belding-Gaines Cemetery is a historic cemetery in Garland County, Arkansas. It is set on the north side of United States Route 270, about 5.3 miles (8.5 km) east of downtown Hot Springs. It is a small wooded lot, about 1 acre (0.40 ha) in size, with twenty marked graves from the 19th century, and reported unmarked graves. The marked graves are divided into three distinct family groups: the Bassett family group, the Belding and Gaines group, and the Simpson group. The latter group is believed to include a significant number of former slave burials. Burials at the cemetery include those of some of the area's earliest settlers, including Ludovicus Belding and William H. Gaines.[2]
The cemetery was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1993.[1]
