East Mountain Cemetery is across the street from the Confederate Cemetery, right off Rock Street, near downtown Fayetteville, Arkansas 72701. 

East Mountain Cemetery was called Fayetteville Civil Cemetery in the Fayetteville National Cemetery Civil War records of exhumations, 1862-1864. There are notations of Black Civil War dead that were exhumed from the East Mountain site, which we believe at the time also included the area that is now the Confederate Cemetery. The site is a remarkable record of local, regional, Arkansas, and US history, connecting us to the horrid practice of chattel slavery and the erasure of the act of it as much as possible, including of the people subjected to the barbaric practice and whitewashing and celebration of the perpetrators of the American practice. 

East Mountain Cemetery overlooks the Fayetteville square and faces the path Confederate troops traveled during their failed attack on the city on April 18, 1863, and is part of the historic African American community that formed along Spout Spring Branch at Emancipation. It has 118 known burials from 1838 to the present, with approximately 84 from 1838 to 1965. It contains burials of those who arrived before and after indigenous people were forced off the lands to take fertile soil along waterways for enslaved people labor for their use and to sell. These people include the Suttons, Walkers, Quarles, Polsons, Pegrams, Wilsons, Jernigans, Prices, Rudolphs, and Harrises. David Walker, who enslaved at least 33 people in 1860 and arrived with at least one enslaved person in 1832, created a family plot in the Cemetery now owned by the southern memorial association and recognized by a sizable confederate marker. There were several burials of African Americans interred in the early 1900s.
