The Walnut Grove Cemetery is a historic cemetery in rural Independence County, Arkansas, United States, on Walden Road, just north of Arkansas Highway 25, northwest of Cord. Established in 1840, it is one of the oldest cemeteries in the area, set on what was once the only major roadway through the region. It is the only significant surviving element of the community of Walnut Grove, which was located at a locally important crossroads in the 19th century. [2]
