Шаблон:Short description

Шаблон:Infobox NRHP The Bold Pilgrim Cemetery is a historic African American cemetery in rural Conway County, Arkansas. It is a Шаблон:Convert parcel, located at the western end of Bold Pilgrim Road, about Шаблон:Convert southwest of Solgohachia. The cemetery is estimated to have 600 burials, the largest number of which probably occurred in the first half of the 20th century.

History

The cemetery was founded about 1890 by an African American community that was located on a ridge west of the cemetery. This community, founded by formerly enslaved people, declined in the 1960s, mainly for economic reasons.[1] The cemetery was community-based, serving the members of various churches in the area.[2]

Restoration

In 2006, the Bold Pilgrim Cemetery Preservation Association was founded to document and preserve the cemetery's history and grounds.[2]

The cemetery was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2018.[3]
