Belding-Gaines Cemetery

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.

The cemetery was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1993.
